No Labor Money for Israeli War Crimes!
“[Palestinian] civilians [in Jenin] were killed willfully or the Israeli military]. . . . [which] used Palestinian civilians as shields’ and used indiscriminate and excessive force. . . . The documented in Jenin are extremely serious, and in some cases war crimes. . .”

Just a week after 100,000 people rallied in Tel Aviv against Sharon’s war crimes in the West Bank, the “Israel Bonds National Labor Division” will hold a “cocktail reception” at the AFL-CIO Executive Board meetings in New York City. “Special guest” Alon Pinkus, Israel’s consul general, will “express gratitude to the labor movement for its decades of support.”
Send a message that U.S. workers won’t fund Israel’s brutal war on the Palestinians. Labor must stand with the Israeli peace movement and with millions of other people around the world by divesting its Israel bonds now!
