Protest Israel's assassination of Dr. al-Rantissi

**EMERGENCY PROTEST**

Condemn Israel's Murder of Dr. al-Rantissi!

Protest IDF War Criminal and overseer of the Apartheid Wall speaking in Brookline!

Tuesday, 4/20, 6:30 p.m.
Congregation Kehillath Israel,
384 Harvard Street, Brookline


On April 17, Israeli occupying forces assassinated Dr.'Abdul 'Aziz al-Rantissi, leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement
(Hamas) in the Gaza Strip. The attack also killed two of Dr. al-Rantissi's bodyguards, and wounded four civilian bystanders. This assassination came less than one month following the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, leader and founder of Hamas, who was assassinated by Israeli occupying forces on 22 March 2004.

Dr. al-Rantissi had survived an assassination attempt carried out by Israeli occupying forces on 10 June 2004. The attack left 2 Palestinian civilians dead and injured 30 others, including a number of children, and Dr. al-Rantissi's son.

Both attacks occurred only days after summit meetings between US and Israeli leaders -- the Aqaba Summit in June 2003 and the the April 14 meeting of Bush and Sharon in Washington. Bush no doubt okayed the assassination plan in his meeting with Sharon. It's hard not to see the lines of a joint US-Israeli plan for suppressing Palestinian resistance
by relentlessly targeting the leadership of the more active organizations struggling for liberation and Palestinian self-defense, and by collective punishment against civilians.

This is now the policy of the US government in it's own occupation of Iraq--a policy worked out with the help of Israeli military advisors. This was the policy of both governments in the occupation of Lebanon, until resistance forces drove out the occupation in 2000. It is a policy that is ultimately doomed in the face of a growing regional struggle to liberate the land from foreign occupation and colonial settlement. How many more casualties will be added to the list before this program of terror is ended?

On Tuesday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. IDF General Doron Almog will be giving a talk in Brookline entitled "Israel's War on Terrorism: The View from the Front." This talk will be given by the expert on terrorizing Palestinians, who was appointed as Major General of the IDF's Southern Command and is the person responsible for the majority of the acts of violence committed against the Palestinians in Gaza since October of 2000. He was appointed as the overseer of the success of the Apartheid Wall and is responsible for the murder of hundreds of Palestinians, demolishing thousands of homes and
authorizing the use of shooting to kill as a so-called method of survival for the Israeli occupational forces.

Join us to protest this war-criminal! Join us to say

*No more colonial war in Palestine and Iraq!

*No more killing of resistance leaders!

*No more collective punishment of civilians!

*Long live the Intifada!

*Victory to the Iraqi and Palestinian resistance!

Jubilee Cafe

***Actual time is 7:15-8:15am***

Jubilee Café is an ecumenical campus and community outreach program sponsored by Canterbury House, the Episcopal Campus Ministry of the University of Kansas. It is committed to serving our homeless and in-need neighbors with dignity and respect. Our primary goals are to enhance self-esteem and promote wellness among our guests, our volunteers, and ourselves. Participation in, or affiliation with, either Canterbury House or any other sponsoring organization is not a prerequisite for volunteering at the Jubilee Café.



he Jubilee Café provides our homeless and in-need neighbors in the Lawrence area a generous and healthy breakfast on Tuesday and Friday mornings in a setting that allows our volunteers to interact with each person on an individual basis. Jubilee Café is a fully licensed restaurant that has been operating since 1994. We believe that by treating our visitors as guests and our volunteers as vital, we will affirm individual humanity and enhance self-esteem. The simple act of choosing an item from a menu allows a person to exercise a measure of control in one basic area of his or her life, which can cross over into other areas as well. And the act of serving another person in need gives us the direct experience of "loving our neighbor as ourselves."


pen on Tuesday and Friday mornings, the Café serves its guests from 7:00 am to 8:00 am.

Outreach in the Era of Arnold: A Community and University Discussion

OUTREACH IN THE ERA OF ARNOLD:
A COMMUNITY AND UNIVERSITY DISCUSSION

Tuesday, April 20, 2004
7:00 PM
MultiCultural Center Lounge


The UCSB English Department's Diversity Work Group committee, along with co-sponsors Asian American Studies, Black Studies, Center for Black Studies, and Chicana/o Studies, is excited to announce an upcoming event on a topic that is important to and affects all of us--outreach. The event is entitled "Outreach in the Era of Arnold: A Community and University Discussion," and is scheduled for this Tuesday, April 20, at 7:00 PM in the MultiCultural Center Lounge. We have invited a diverse and dynamic panel of speakers to help us initiate a dialogue about the current status of outreach on our campus and in our community, the kinds of work being done, and the development of concrete
strategies for the near future. Panelists will give brief (5-minute) opening remarks, which will then be followed by discussion and a reception. We also hope to hold a follow-up session in May to put some of these ideas into
practice.

Panelists include Babatunde Folayemi (former City Council member and former director of Pro-Youth Alliance), Diane Hale (guidance counselor at San Marcos High School and former president of the George Washington Carver Scholarship
Committee), Monique Limon (special program advisor at Cal-SOAP), Patricia Canning (coordinator of School Relations at SBCC), John Mohr (Associate Dean of UCSB's Graduate Division), Marisela Marquez (Director of the Center for Faculty Outreach), among others.

Representatives involved in all different kinds of outreach and from all over our campus and community will be participating, and we see this as an extraordinary opportunity to discuss, network, and share resources with others doing similar kinds of work. There are so many of us who are committed to outreach to underrepresented communities, to diversity in higher education, and we think getting all of us together is a really exciting prospect.

Reverand Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir defeats Big Box Chain Stores

The Church of Stop Shopping performs radical “retail interventions” of political theater cloaked in eh frock of evangelical fervor.

Just back from actions in Barcelona, Spain, the Church has fought Starbucks, Disney and Walmart in support of independent businesses and the survival of our neighborhoods. They will perform briefly (2hrs) in Santa Cruz on their tour from the Walmart invasions in L.A. to proposed Big Box Store developments in Northern California.

More into:
Reverend Billy and the Stop Big Boxes Gospel Choir sing and preach from LA to Humboldt County April 17 to 24th, performing for citizens, activist groups and union locals who are resisting the predatory influx of transnational chain stores.  Fourteen events over the course of the week include a Los Angeles screening of Playloud! Productions documentary “Reverend Billy”, a live concert for tree-sitters near Arcata and the finale performance at the 1400 seat Castro Theater in San Francisco.

Some performances take place in theaters, others are “retail interventions” –unannounced, unpermitted appearances that take place in “contested space” supercenter lobbies, sweatshop dressing rooms and strip mall parking lots. Throughout its seven year existence the OBIE-winning Church of Stop Shopping has fought Starbucks, Disney, Wal Mart (to name a few) promoting independent businesses and gift, thrift and barter economies; encouraging the survival of our neighborhoods; and giving a voice to countless sweatshop workers worldwide.
