RACHEL CORRIE CONTINGENT FOR APRIL 12 RALLY

by One-Stater, Equal Rights for ALL (khq [at] earthlink.net)
Rachel Corrie did not die in vain. Her courage and vision inspires us to carry onward. We will honor her by having a Rachel Corrie Contingent for the April 12th anti-war rally. No anti-war rally is complete without including the anti-apartheid in Israel message. The Zionist racism in Israel, and backed by various factions in the US, is what is driving the war on Iraq.
Dear dedicated believer in equality and peace:

You are invited to meet and join THE RACHEL CORRIE CONTINGENT, in San Francisco on April 12, and come along with us, to help make the upcoming
international peace-rally the first in a series of INCREASINGLY SUCCESSFUL, truly progressive events.

We will, at last, be addressing the core, center, and root of rampant US-Israeli belligerence against the Whole Middle East, and the entire Arab and Muslim worlds.

Our message is optimistic, encouraging, and exciting. The clearest and strongest argument against the ideology of Middle East war has scarcely been mentioned in
previous anti-war efforts and we can turn the whole mess around by breaking that silence!

Rachel Corrie stood still against Israeli ethnic-cleansing, in the horrific form of a US-built, armored Israeli Army Bulldozer, and it drove right over her.

It is high time we stand still against our OWN tax-support for US-funded Israeli ethnic-cleansing itself.

Israel proved that a bulldozer can drive over a person.

We will prove that the ideology of ethnic-cleansing cannot drive over our faith in ethnic-equality.

Our message is positive and constructive:

Oppose Zionist-Israeli racism. Demand ethnic equality yes even in Israel-Palestine.

IMMEDIATE SOLUTION: Demand reform of Israels openly racist immigration-laws, the valve of ethnic supremacy on one side, and ethnic dispossession on the
other. It is anti-Constitutional to use federal tax dollars to support Israels official ethnic preference and prejudice. All the horror we see in Palestine the entire spiral
of violence on both sides is created by that officially racist policy.

Peace requires ethnic equality.

There can be no peace in the Middle East, as long as theres no equality in Israel-Palestine.

We must go beyond the discreet old limits of ending the occupation and calling for two-state apartheid. Equality and integration confronting Israels fundamental
racism is the only way to bring peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike, and world peace. Equality is not an extreme or hard-line position!

End the violent prejudice that prevents the displaced Palestinians from returning to their homes: Equality is not unrealistic. It holds the only hope, and we must
work toward it directly and urgently, toward an egalitarian, multi-ethnic Israel-Palestine: a Holy Land free of ethnic-supremacy.

Please join the Rachel Corrie Contingent and discover this burgeoning wake-up to the crucial realities at the roots of the Middle East catastrophe.

On February 27, in an email to her mother, Rachel Corrie said:

I really can't believe that something like this can happen in the world without a bigger outcry about it.


Please reply to Sophia by email if you would like to join us, or to help organize this effort, so we can update you on the details soon.

SPREAD THE WORD!
