Veterans For Peace member Will Clark (who I have traveled with to South Korea, Okinawa and India) reports from Hebron as they were tear gassed by the Israeli occupation forces.
Veterans For Peace joined the popular resistance in Palestine against the Occupation on the 23rd anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre, or sometimes called the Cave of Patriarchs Massacre. 23 years ago Baruch Goldstein, an American-Jewish Settler in Israel, opened fire on a large number of Palestinians, leaving 29 dead, several as young as 12, and 125 wounded. Many Israeli settlers still to this day continue to laud him as a hero.
The state of Israel has been illegally occupying Palestine for over
seven decades, committing human rights violations and war crimes.
Despite Palestinians having a majority population and living in the area
for thousands of years, the Israeli military continues to oppress the
people as well as Israeli settlers spreading their territories over
what's left of Palestinian land. The U.S. has supported this oppression
by selling military equipment to Israel as well as giving financial aid,
now $3.8 billion every year.
Veterans For Peace opposes war in all of its manifestations, including this atrocious occupation against the Palestinians.
