For Peace, Against Imperialism

The press statement on the Pickets for Peace and Against Imperialism is attached. They will take place on Saturday, March 18th in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Pretoria. The Johannesburg one will be at the US Consulate near Killarney Mall. See linked document for details. There will be consultative meetings prior to the pickets, on Thursday, March 16th. Contrast and compare South Africa’s mobilisation with the London CPB’s Agitprop Leaflet, in PDF format, linked below. Other documents that are relevant include the 2002 Cairo Peace Declaration, the December 2005 London Peace Declaration, and the 2006 Declaration of Communist Parties. Further away, and on the far shore of the Atlantic Ocean, an ex-Neocon has denounced his former colleagues. See the linked article by Martin Kelly, below. While in the other linked article, a US Jew, David Green, looks at the relationship between Blacks and Jews in that country, and how it has played out in terms of the USA’s role in the Middle East. And in a statement issued late last night, the South African Palestine Solidarity Committee condemns the cruel actions and Israeli killings at the Jericho prison including the treacherous connivance of British government so-called monitors in these acts.
