This visit of top Israeli politicians and the giant war rally for Israel planned for New York on September 23 are an effort to gain public support and to increase the more than $10 million dollars a day of U.S. funding for Israel's brutal occupation and repression. Arial Sharon was found guilty of the September 1982 massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. More than 2,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children were massacred. As Prime Minister, his crimes continue to this day. His visit comes on the one-year anniversary of the heroic Al Aqsa Intifada. It is urgent that we show our united opposition to all those who are applauding these war criminals. We urge: - All people who support the rights of the Palestinian people. . . - All people who support human rights. . . - All people who oppose racism and oppression. . . to protest this visit of War Criminal Ariel Sharon. Thousands strong we will demand: - End U.S aid to Israel - End Israel's Illegal Occupation of Palestine - Right of Return for Palestinians - Right of Palestinians to a sovereign state with Jerusalem as capitol Initiated by Al-Awda Palestine Right of Return Coalition cosponsored by: Al-Awda, American Moslem Alliance, American Moslem Union, Committee for a Democratic Palestine, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Free Mumia Coalition, International Action Center, Islamic Association for Palestine, Moslem American Society and Vieques Support Campaign.
