Nyack Vigil to Protest Netanyahu Speech to Congress
March 3, 2015 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Rockland for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel is joining with peace groups across the country concerned that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will address a joint session of Congress on March 3rd. Netanyahu will be giving this speech, without an invitation by the State Department, in opposition to the policies of President Obama. This comes at a delicate time when the US and its allies are trying to negotiate a deal with Iran regarding sanctions and nuclear weapons development. It’s clear that Netanyahu is here to drum for war and to ruin any chances for diplomatic solution with Iran. We stand against this unwelcome visit and Netanyahu’s effort to dictate our foreign policy. We will be holding vigil to express our opposition, in solidarity with peace activists in DC and across the country. Please come to the Clocktower at Cedar and Main in Nyack on Tuesday March 3rd at 5:30 P.M. to raise your voice against war-mongering and bullying, and for a peaceful resolution with Iran. |
