ng the country's largest annual gathering of activists, students and politi=
cal leaders dedicated to "supporting Israel." But we wanted to be there wit=
h our message because we think their right-wing agenda actually harms Israe=
lis, harms Palestinians and harms all of us who want justice, peace and sta=
bility in the region.=20






As Vice-President Joe Biden and countless members of Congress make their ap=
pearance at the annual AIPAC Conference in DC, they are being met with JVP'=
s message of hope and accountability about US funds and Gaza.=20




Please help us cover the $5,000 it cost to put this important message in fr=
ont of the AIPAC attendees, and the journalists covering them.=20





They will see that many of us--you and me--care for both Israelis and Pales=
tinians and ask our government to do the same.=20







Surely at the conference many will speak about peace. In fact, the conferen=
ce platform talks about 'peace principles.' But simply talking about peace =
is cheap.=20

AIPAC insists on more unconditional military aid to Israel, without taking =
stock of--or even mentioning--the attacks on civilians in Gaza.=20





AIPAC decries any divestment from the Israeli occupation--do they even know=
 there's an occupation?--but pushes for divestment from Iran.=20



We are there now to remind them that there are real people and real lives b=
eing destroyed by US support for the occupation.=20





While thousands of AIPAC activists head for the US Capitol tomorrow to lobb=
y for unconditional military aid, thousands of you will be lobbying on the =
phone, via email and later, in person, to demand accountability for US taxp=
ayer money used to violate the human rights of Palestinians. Many of those =
members of Congress and their staff members will have already seen JVP's si=
gns, your signs. =C2=A0=20

Please help us bring accountability to Washington, DC. It's our money, our =
choice.=20






Thanks,=20
