Washington, DC | June 2, 2010 | www.adc.org - Members of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), from across the country, will be protesting for an end to the Israeli occupation and for an immediate end to the siege of Gaza on Friday, June 4, 2010, from 4:30 PM- 6:00 PM, in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. The Embassy is located at 3514 International Drive, NW, Washington, DC.
The protest is scheduled to take place during ADC's 30th Anniversary Convention this weekend, and comes less than one week after the massacre committed by the Israeli forces in international waters against civilian humanitarian activists who were on the "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" to deliver humanitarian aid.
ADC strongly condemns the Israeli massacre, demands the release of all hostages abducted from the ships, and calls for an end of the siege on Gaza. ADC urges all members to contact the Administration, and their members of Congress to request accountability by Israel for the deaths of peaceful humanitarians, and those who were injured, by clicking here.
