FUSsa-talk Mailing List: Re: FW: [AntiWarMN] Court Solidarity with the AWC, upcoming events

[Barbara Weatherhead (barbweather]

The Palestinian supporters (including me) lined both sides of the road
leading to the Sabes Jewish Community Center to greet the Pro Israeli
attendees going to the press conference/Pro-Israel rally inside where
Norm Coleman, Al Franken, John Marty and more declared support for
Israel "defending their people".  Casualties: Israel - 7; Palestine -
850+.  Channel 5 at least mentioned that we were there but showed no
footage.

Tonight's 10:00 o'clock clarified this.  The pro-Israel rally was
inside; 
the counter-rally outside.  It was my understanding the one outside was
also 
going to have a press conference.  I wonder if that happened.

Peace,
Madeline
