'OCCUPY BOSTON' TAKES ISRAELI CONSULATE

Bravo! and heartfelt gratitude from so many of us to this small group of brave Bostonians It will be most interesting to see how things pan out now in that city, and elsewhere, now that the right "ism" is being addressed, that of Zionism.
.
Due to its actions regarding the flotilla Israeli brass let the occupation last for its very short time. Now THAT to me seems also a sign of the power of the people. Bolder and bolder but not violent to show our numbers ..... 
.
We are many, they are few.....

'Occupy Boston' protesters in the US have stormed the Israeli consulate in the city and held a brief sit-in in the building's lobby, Press TV reports.
.
On Friday, activists gathered calling for the liberation of Palestine, angry at Israel for intercepting an aid flotilla on its way to the besieged Gaza Strip.
.
Protesters chanted slogans such as, “not another nickel, not another dime! No more money for Israel's crimes” and “Vive viva Palestina,” demanding the departure of Israeli consulate officials from the US.
.
The protest is part of a global movement against social and economic inequalities, and corporate greed.
.
Participants made clear that they are not anti-Semites, but anti-Zionists, critical of the Israeli government's current policies.
.
The “Occupy” movement emerged after a group of Americans on September 17 gathered in New York's financial district to protest against the unjust distribution of wealth in the US and the excessive influence of big corporations on the American politics.
.
Despite mass arrests and widespread police crackdown, the movement has now spread to major US cities, as well as to other countries, including Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and Portugal.

    Brilliant move by the protesters.
    Wish I was there with them. Sadly, I live way to far from Boston.

    Thanks for the post. I guess that did not make it to the national lame $stream media.

    Viva Palestina!
