Emergency Protest

ANSWER LA is calling all activists to mobilize tomorrow to protest the brutal attack against the population of Gaza. Show the Palestinian people that Americans care. Show your fellow Americans that you care. We need you there tomorrow. From their website:

Using the capture of one of its soldiers as the pretext, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) launched a brutal assault on the entire population of Gaza in the early morning hours of June 28. U.S.-supplied F-16 fighter-bombers destroyed the main power station in Gaza and destroyed bridges on the only major roads linking the northern and southern sections of the region. The people of Gaza are now without water and electricity -- and many will die. The use of U.S. planes and other military goods against illegally occupied territories is a violation of both international and U.S. law.

Also check out Politics in the Zeros and Left I on the News for some great posts on the Palestinian crisis.
