7 Years in Iraq
8 1/2 Years in Afghanistan
62 Years in Palestine
END THE OCCUPATIONS NOW!
*Protest the Occupations this Thursday at 5PM at the Alma Mater near the
Corner of Wright and Green Streets.*

After 7 years in Iraq and 8 1/2 years in Afghanistan, the false
justifications keep coming: for sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan to
add to the 70,000 already there, for keeping 50,000 to 100,000 troops in
Iraq, as well as equally exorbitant numbers of private contractors in both
countries.  Likewise, the justifications for the Israeli occupation of
Palestine hold no water, as many people have continued to show their outrage
after last winter's Operation Cast Lead, and their support for the
Palestinian people through Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaigns here
at home and Aid Convoys to Gaza.
As we know, the realities are far different from the justifications.  The
reality is that the people of Iraq and Afghanistan want the US and NATO out,
so that they can rebuild their own countries and governments without
military intervention.  Likewise, the people of Palestine want democracy and
they want their rights as equal citizens of the world.  Let's protest to
show that we want what they want.
