End the Siege of Gaza: March & Rally No Attack on Iran March and Public Meeting Saturday, August 23, 2008 1 p.m. Gather in front of Federal Building, 450 Main St. Hartford, CT. Walk on sidewalks to Bushnell Park. Bring signs and banners! The Palestinian Gaza Strip has been locked down by Israel for two years. Over 220 patients have died because Israel won't let them leave the Strip for better medical treatment. Trade is almost non-existent. Recently the UN said unemployment in the Strip is 45%, the highest in the world. Two boats, the "Free Gaza" and the "Liberty" are sailing from Cyprus to Gaza to break the blockade. We say, "Let the Boats In!" We also will protest threats to attack Iran. They are totally unjustified. Iran is no threat to this country. Last fall 16 US government agencies printed a report saying that Iran did not have a nuclear bomb making program and hasn't had one for 5 years. We won't be fooled by another "weapons of mass destruction" hoax. We don't need another war and we can't afford another war. Neither can the people of Iran.
