LET GAZA LIVE! Stop the U.S./Israeli War Against Palestinian People.
Photo coverage from National March on Washington, Saturday, January 10, Assembled at the White House. This is what I was able to catch before my camera started to get too wet to shoot. There was much more to photo report on but cameras and water are not always the best companions. Aiee!!
Hundreds of Palestinian people in Gaza have been killed and thousands more wounded as a result of the massive bombing campaign and ground invasion carried out by the Israeli government. This must be recognized for what it is: not a war but a massacre of the Palestinian people. Because of the U.S.-backed Israeli blockade and strangulation of the people of Gaza for the past 18 months, there is little or no medicine to treat the wounded, electricity for hospitals, or food or clean water for much of the population.
Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. aid in the world. It receives more than $15 million every day from the United States. The F-16 fighter jets and apache helicopters that have rained down more thanhundreds of tons of bombs and missiles on Gaza are made in the United States by the Pentagon and provided to the Israeli government. It is inconceivable that this military equipment and the Israeli aggression in Gaza could have taken place without the explicit consent of the U.S. government. It is urgent that people in the United States take to the streets to show solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza and to demand an immediate end to the murderous attacks carried out by the U.S.-backed Israeli military against the people of Gaza.
The Jan. 10 protest was located between the Bush White House and the Hay Adams Hotel, where President-Elect Obama currently resides on the north side of Lafayette Park.
