    * *Occupation & War do not make peace in the Middle East*

Antiwar activists from across the region will gather in front of the 
Israeli Mission to the U.N. in NYC on Tuesday evening November 27 to 
protest the Annapolis "Peace" conference. We are protesting because the 
meeting has more to do with strengthening President Bush's war in Iraq 
and war plans against Iran, than attaining justice for the Palestinian 
people.

Counter protests against the Annapolis meeting are also taking place in 
Boston, Los Angeles, and Charlotte, North Carolina.

The following is an excerpt from a statement protesting the Annapolis 
meeting that has been signed by 400 antiwar leaders and activist across 
the U.S.

*/*Antiwar Activist Support Call for Counter Protest Against Annapolis 
Meeting*/

As an anti-war movement, we must ask ourselves: Can we allow the war 
criminals, who time after time have callously ignored the anti-war 
majority in the U.S. and globally, to get away with this outrageous farce?

Some may be confused about the purpose of the Annapolis meeting, so 
let's speak plain truth: It isn't really about peace and justice for the 
Palestine--it's about deception, occupation and war. It's about 
isolating popular forces and countries that reject U.S. rule. It's about 
attempting to force new concessions on the Palestinian people, while 
attempting to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and other Arab 
governments with Israel. All while Tel Aviv continues its all-out 
assault on the Palestinian people. And it's about preparing for a new war.

At this moment, Palestinians in Gaza are being deprived of food, fuel, 
medicines and other basic necessities by an economic embargo imposed by 
Israel and backed by the U.S. Meanwhile, more Israeli settlements, 
roads, walls and checkpoints are being set up in the West Bank each day.
