On Nov. 26, 2008, activists rallied in front of the White House, at 8 AM, to spotlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Israeli-Occupied Gaza. President George Bush plans this morning to pardon two turkeys in honor of Thanksgiving Day. Meanwhile, the desperate people of Gaza are trapped in borders “sealed” shut by the Israeli Occupation Army. According to the sponsoring group’s press release: “As a result of Israel’s closure, the UN has been forced to stop food distribution to 750,000 needy people, and 70 percent of Gaza is without power.” Over 1.5 million people live in Gaza, many of them displaced refugees from the 1948 War. “Half of Gaza’s population is under the age of 15.” Under the terms of the Geneva Convention, and other key provisions of International Law, the Collective Punishment of a people is “a War Crime.” The press release from the “Coalition for Justice and Accountability,” underscores the “contrast in American policy between fowl livestock and starving children.” The U.S. taxpayers continue to subsidize Zionist Israel, and its occupation of the Palestinian people, to the tune of billions of dollars every year.

On Monday, Nov. 10, 2008, 15 activists staged a “Die In” at the U.S. Justice Department in Washington, D.C. The protest action, which began at 12 noon, on the sidewalk, centered around a moral and legal demand, grounded in the Federal Criminal Laws, the U.S. Constitution, the Geneva Convention, the Natural and International Law, that President George W. Bush and V.P. Dick Cheney should be “indicted for War Crimes and Murder.” The demonstration was organized by the “National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance,” (NCNR). The protesters delivered a letter to a Public Affairs’ person for the Justice Department, addressed to the Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, demanding the indictment of Bush and Cheney. During the “Die In,” activists read the names of some of the U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians, who have died in the illegal Iraq War launched by the Bush-Cheney Gang.
