Come to Washington DC on June 10, and join us in a rally
to support Israel's right to peace, security and defensible borders!
Israel's opponents are on the move:
On June 10, 2007, to mark the 40th anniversary of Israel's 1967 war of
survival, the extremist groups "United
for Peace and Justice" and "Muslim
American Society Freedom Foundation" will hold what even the
liberal magazine Tikkun called a rally for the "dissolution
of the State of Israel." The "United for Peace and Justice"
coalition includes such radical organizations as the Socialist Party USA,
the Young Communists League, Communist Party USA, and the American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Israel's supporters depend on you: We
will gather on the North side of Constitution Avenue, just west of the
Capitol Reflecting Pool. We are organizing this literally one week before
the event, with almost no resources or time. This Counter-Rally truly
is the product of a few citizens who are deeply outraged that Israel's
opponents might have demonstrated in our nation's capitol without any
patriotic opposing voices who will tell truth to counter these lies.
We must stand up to lies and distortions.
We will not have a microphone or a speakers' platform,
but we CAN show our support with our signs, flags, patriotic songs and
our own strong voices as individual citizens exercising our right to assemble.
We are bringing signs and flags for you to hold, sponsored by Stand
with Us. Feel free to make your own sign, but please use the messages
listed below.
Date: Sunday, June 10
Place: Begin assembling on the North
side of Constitution Avenue, apart from the opponents' demonstration,
at 1:00 PM. Our exact location may change. Please check here before the
rally, and look for our American and Israeli flags on June 10.

KNOW THESE POINTS ABOUT ISRAEL.
Use them in your conversations about the Arab-I sraeli conflict.
POINT : Israel's size is 1/6 of 1% of
the Arab World.
POINT : Israel has 1,300,000 Israeli -Arab citizens,
who are 20% of its population. Israel also officially recognizes and gives
privileges to 15 different religions.
POINT : Palestinian Arabs living in the territories are
not citizens of Israel.
POINT : There was no Security Fence along the West Bank
prior to the relentless violence in 2002, and since it was built, terrorism
has dropped by 85%
POINT : Israel wants peace and is willing to make painful
compromises by giving away land as it did for peace with Egypt and Jordan.
Today it is unilaterally withdrawing from Gaza.
POINT : Where is the money? Arafat was given billions
of dollars to improve living conditions for the Palestinians. He did not
build schools, roads or hospitals. He did not improve housing or sewage
systems. Those billions are missing. Hamas and other terrorist groups
continue to misappropriate funds sent by well-meaning organizations like
the U.N. and the E.U. Instead of building a Palestinian state these funds
are being used to attack Israel. Why?
POINT : Peace Must Be Taught The PA must immediately
change the message being taught by its clerics who call for the murder
of Jews and by its teachers who deny Israel's right to exist. PA schoolbooks
must promote peace, not hatred.
POINT : The PA Charter Must be Changed. It still calls
for the destruction of Israel, just as the Hamas Charter does.
POINT : Israel is a reestablishment of the Jewish State
Jews have lived in and identified with this land for thousands of years.
The Old Testament, New Testament and Koran all refer to this area as the
land of the Jews. Even if one is not religious, these old documents are
another way to show that Jews are indigenous to Israel and the surrounding
area.
POINT : The Definition of Zionism: If
you believe that Jews have a right to self-determination and to their
own country in the area that is ancient Israel where they have maintained
a presence for thousands of years, then you are a Zionist. Most Jews are
Zionists, as are many non-Jews.
