This is a misguided protest. If the crux of the protest is to cut off the $3 billion a year in aid that Israel receives from the USA, why no mention of the $2 billion Egypt receives?

Most people reading the above post have no idea that the $3 billion in aid is one of the provisions in the 1979 peace treaty Israel has made with Egypt. President Jimmy Carter helped to broker that treaty. The provisions of it were that Israel was to return 94% of the land it conquered in the 1967 and return this oil-rich land to Egypt. In return, Israel was to get $3 billion in aid each year from the USA and Egypt was to get $2 billion.

This peace treaty was paid for with the life of Egyptian President Sadat and has kept peace between the two countries for 25 years! And now this "peace" group wants to tear up the peace treaty?????

How many un-knowing dupes showed up to join this protest without being informed of the true facts?
To me, it seems as if the organizers of this event are really a bunch of anti-semites who do not recognize the right of the Jews to have one tiny Jewish country in the mideast. And they are more than willing to present a distorted, one-sided version of the "facts" in order to villify Israel.
