<p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; white-space: normal;" class="">
Just a few weeks ago on April 13th the US led the UK, France, and other western NATO powers in the airstrikes bombing Syria's capital of Damascus. This followed unsubstantiated claims from the US of a chemical attack by the Syrian government on Syrian citizens.
Despite a continued lack of evidence, the warmongering around Syria persists.</p>
<p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; white-space: normal;" class="">
This week in Israel, the US's primary ally in the Middle East, president Benjamin Netanyah<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">u gave an alarmist presentation about Iran's capability to produce nuclear weapons. It featured
10+ year-old news about Iran's ability to redirect their nuclear energy program to a nuclear weapons program. This was an attempt to stir outrage against the Iranian government and to set the stage for US intervention. There is no evidence that the Iranian
government is pursuing a nuclear weapons program or has any desire to do so.</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-variant-ligatures: normal; white-space: normal;">
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 6px; font-family: inherit;" class="">It's more than a little ironic that the only country to have ever used nuclear weapons presumes to dictate to any other country how they should handle their nuclear programs.</p>
<p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">The false claims of "weapons of mass destruction" preceding the US's invasion of Iraq in 2003 stand out as preposterous accusations to create a pretext for war. The ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End
Racism) Coalition here in Champaign-Urbana understands the similarity between chemical attack claims in Syria and nuclear programs in Iran to be as ridiculous as the "weapons of mass destruction" claims about Iraq in 2003.</p>
<p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">Therefore we are staging a march to protest further war and warmongering against all countries in the Middle East, which the United States has no business interfering in.</p>
<p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">Join us at 5pm on Sunday at the IMC in Urbana for a march through downtown Urbana to oppose war. You can find us near the circle drive on the west side of the IMC building off of Elm street.</p>
