Protest at AIPAC: Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Urged Against Israel

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Urged Against Israel

On Monday, March 22, 2010, activists from Code Pink, a peace and justice group, staged a demonstration in front of the Washington, D.C. Convention Center. Their purpose: Protesting AIPAC!
One of the speakers at the event was Mai Abdul-Rahman. She is with the Washington Interfaith Alliance for Middle East Peace (WIAMEP). She urged "a boycott, divestment and sanctions" against Israel. Code Pink's Medea Benjamin served as the moderator for the rally.

Go Code Pink! I participated in the protest on the first day of the AIPAC conference. We ended up getting into a few fights with a few zionists, but their arguments were so bad it was almost like it wasn't even worth it.
