A CITY ORDINANCE PROHIBITS US FROM ATTACHING SIGNS TO THE FENCE EVEN IF WE ARE PRESENT. IF YOU CANNOT COMPLY WITH THIS ORDINANCE, PLEASE DO NOT COME.

Why are we on the bridge protesting the U. S. unconditional political and economic support (appx. 10 mil. per day) to the Israeli Government when they continue the oppression, war crimes and atrocities against the Palestinian people?

The average American doesn't know the extent of the suffering of the Palestinians and that this oppression is a predominant cause of radical Muslim terrorists, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism. When our government and Congressmen are unwilling to tell the truth about this conflict, and with the corporate media, which is highly biased in favor of Israel, this gross injustice is effectively kept under cover to "protect and defend" our twin brother, Israel. Even KPFT cooperates in this cover-up, inadvertently or intentionally, by cancelling Flashpoints which boldly attacks injustice where ever it exists, in Hatti, Darfur or in Palestine. With our (US) phony "defense and protection" policies for our friend Israel, rather than defending and protecting, would not it be ironic if we contribute to its demise.

Injustices cannot last forever. History and inviolate laws inform us that the oppressor may become the oppressed. The Palestinian people are not going away.

Our efforts on the bridge may be slight but with malice toward none we would attempt to strike at the root of evil rather than hack at the branches and create a dialog for honest discussion to balance biased media coverage.
