Protest 40 Years of Occupation
Chicagoland Says NO to Israeli Occupation
Come join a coalition of Chicago organizations to protest the tragic milestone of 40 years of Israel’s illegal military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Chicagoland organizations are sponsoring a demonstration and vigil on June 4, 2007, to demand an end to an Israeli occupation that has stripped Palestinians of their civil, human, and national rights for decades.
