[Peace-discuss] Another meeting with TJ?

[Jim Buell]

I'd like to suggest that any such meeting also include lobbying TJ against 
support for Israel's worsening occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. In the 
Palestinian Truth Tour event at Channing-Murray this afternoon, there was 
mention of a House Concurrent Resolution 111, which expresses sympathy for 
Illinois Solidarity Movement activist Rachel Corrie's death, calls for an 
investigation into the circumstances, and encourages efforts to ensure 
"that an incident of this kind never occurs again" - already outdated, 
sadly, with the Israeli military's shootings of two other foreign ISM 
activists in the past couple of weeks. TJ isn't on the House Committee on 
International Relations, to which the resolution has been referred, but 
it's chaired by Henry Hyde, the silver-maned godfather to all Illinois 
Republicans. (More info on the resolution is at 
http://www.electronicintifada.net/v2/article1313.shtml .)

Also, a reminder that AWARE and ISM are hosting a fundraiser-funraiser at 
the Indy Media Center from 6 to 9 pm tonight. Among the musical guests 
should be LA hip-hop artist Iron Sheikh, who's appearing in conjunction 
with the Truth Tour.

peace,
Jim
