On CODEPINK's most recent trip to Gaza, the glimmer of hope we found among people in Gaza was the Obama administration. Many were upset that Obama did not speak out during the invasion and that peace envoy George Mitchell, on his first trip to the Middle East, did not visit Gaza or even Syria. But they felt that Mitchell was a good choice and Obama, if given the space by the American people, could play a positive role. Who can provide that space for Obama? Who can respond to the call for justice from the Palestinian people? Who can counter AIPAC, the powerful lobby that supports Israeli aggression? An organized, mobilized, coordinated grassroots movement is the critical counterforce— and we need you to stand with us and do your part for peace!

As Sholom Schwartzbard, a member of Jews Against the Occupation, explained at a New York City protest, “We know from our own history what being sealed behind barbed wire and checkpoints is like, and we know that ‘Never Again’ means not anyone, not anywhere - or it means nothing at all.” A peaceful and just resolution of the tragedy of occupation, now in its 42nd year, will be a relief and blessing to Israel as well as to the Palestinians.

  • $33000.00 of Obama's campaign contributions came from Palestine, none came from pro-Israel, I will be utterly confused if he allows their plight to go unanswered.

    Really?  I wish I could meet them then...  The only ones I have met were defacing the Marine Corps recruiting station where I live and throwing things at my husband as he tried to go to work.  They hold protests outside of my local base and all military functions yelling that my husband and his friends are monsters, murderers, and deserve to die.  
    Awesome people?  I don't think so.  They make me sick.

    The ONLY reason they even have a right to bitch and moan and abuse my family and friends is BECAUSE of my husband and those who have died defending their rights...

    Please tell your husband Thank you from one very proud American. Thank him for all the holidays he has missed away from his family. Birthdays of his children where he had to work and ws not able to attend. Thank him for doing a job that is a very thankless job at times. Thank him for his courage, sense of duty, honor and all things gthat go into making a good solider. And while we're at it, a big THANK YOU to you as well. It is not only the tropps that serve us, but their family.

    I think I'll ignore these silly posts by our little pro muslim, anti American group members from now on...they're aren't worth the dust on my feet.

     

    bow down

  • CODEPINK is a dispicable group of traitors. They are an insane group of antiAmericans who want to degrade our military. Our young men and women fight so this group of idiots and ungrateful individuals can go around and spread their garbage. I say kick them out of the country and let them go live with the terrorists. Let them spend 6 months living in unspeakable conditions in fear of their lives from Hamas. As for Palestine they support the terrorists. Of course Obama gives aide to Palestine because he too wants America to fall and be under a govt controlled system. You ladies who support codepink do not support our troops and you expect us to like you? angry

    I think everyone here appreciates what our service men & women are doing to protect America.  It is possible to support these men & women and not support their mission.

    Your comments about the OP are vile.  Terica is an American, she may be a Muslim- American, but she is still an American. To call her un-American is just plain ignorant.

    One day, I hope your patriotism is questioned because of your religion in the same mean-spirited manner you have demonstrated today.

    You are free to respond to or ignore any post you wish...but your comments are despicable and aren't worth the dust on Tericared's feet or mine for that matter.

    Thank you so much for your kind words.  My husband says you are welcome and thank you as well for your support.  Being so close to Independence Day you truly warmed my heart.  :)
