ten year old and arrested by police by by Z • (posted by guido) Sunday May 26, 2002 at 05:21 PM |
On May 25th about 150 people marched across the Golden Gate Bridge to protest US support for Israel. As the protesters reached the Marin side of the bridge, the police blocked the protest and a few protesters sat down and got arrested. The police then moved in with riot gear and pushed the protesters back across to the toll plaza. A ten year old girl was arrested for yelling at the cops, thrown on the ground, handcuffed and left face down for over five minutes before being taken away.

• U.S. OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST!
The U.S. government has used the events of Sept. 11th 2001 to justify unleashing a new war of terror around the world. Thousands of innocents in Afghanistan have been slaughtered by U.S. bombs and missiles. Bush and his war cabinet promise to renew Bush Sr.'s onslaught against Iraq as soon as he is politically capable.
On May 25th, we join the world in the demand: U.S. get your hands off the Middle East!
• END FINANCIAL AID TO ISRAEL!
The U.S. Government gives full political, economic and military support to Israel as it attempts to wipe out the courageous and indomitable Palestinian people.
We stand with Palestine and the rest of the world against the colonial aspirations of the white power, settler- state of Israel. Israel's crimes against humanity could not continue without the support of the US. and the complicity of the U.S. population! That complicity ends now!
• REPEAL THE "USA PATRIOT" ACT!
While unleashing military terror all over the world, the U.S. goverment has launched a renewed assault on democratic and civil rights at home.
Over 1,000 Arab immigrants have been rounded up and held without being charged.Workers are losing their jobs based on their nationality. Non-profit agencies are being closed. Laws such as the USA Patriot Act allow anyone who opposes the U.S. policy of terror to be branded a "terrorist."
• STOP CRIMINALIZING OPPRESSED PEOPLE!
While the U.S. unleashes terror all over the world, it has intensified brutal attacks on non-white people inside its own borders.The term "terrorist" is now used to lock up even more Indigenous (Raza) and African people.
