According to FrontPage Magazine the San Francisco Unified School District is hosting an event today in support of overseas terrorist groups given by the International Solidarity Movement and its affiliate, International ANSWER. Taking place at Horace Mann Middle School in San Francisco’s Mission District, the event is titled “The Struggle for Palestine: 4th Anniversary of the Intifada.”
What is so curious about this group is that they are so blatantly supporting those terrorists that are killing our soldiers in Iraq – and not one iota of their program has been challenged by the San Francisco Unified School District. The organizers state:
Support for resistance in Palestine, and to make links with others who are fighting against the U.S. occupation of Iraq, and against U.S. imperialism around the world. (my emphasis added)
Lee Kaplan goes on to say Can you guess what the organizers of this event mean by “fighting against the U.S. occupation in Iraq?” They mean killing of our sons and daughters in Iraq who are in the U.S. military. And can you guess who’s fighting against them? The terrorists from al-Qaeda, the Ba'ath Party, Ansar Al-Islam and any other members of the terrorist network.
One other weird connection in all of this is Ramsey Clark , former attorney general under Lyndon Johnson. Ramsey Clark is founder of International Action Center (IAC) and Clark is now Saddam Hussein's attorney.
Read the articles and if you are as outraged as I am about this, contact San Francisco Schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman and let her know how you feel: ackermana@sfusd.edu . According to Kaplan, her office has stonewalled any common sense solution to not letting this event go forward. While you’re at it, contact Governor Schwarzenegger as well: http://www.govmail.ca.gov/.
