When is the last time you heard about a demonstration on a university campus calling for the end of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon?

At the popular website, www.counterpunch.org ,the following article relating the experiences of a husband and wife team, Kathleen and Bill Chistison who recently visited "Palestine" was printed as the lead feature article on Sept. 24, 2004. The article is re-printed below in its entirety with my frequent comments imbedded. Please note the frequent blatant untruths and the glaring ommissions which, for the naive reader, leave the impression that the Palestinians are fine, good people and the Israelis are evil and brutal.

Friday September 24, 2004 was the 12 year anniversary of Critical Mass. It also marked a return of Critical Mass to the streets of Santa Cruz. About 30 bikers met at the clock tower and rode around downtown and the westside.

Bikers were generally respectful towards the unfortunate souls rolling around town in metal boxes, however several motor-aided communters were delayed for a short time. The responses were mixed from the people in the cars, but the majority of people, especially ones driving 18 wheelers, were supportive of the Critical Mass.

I am writing to personally encourage Indymedia.org users to send a message to the leadership in Washington that it is time to chart a new course for US nuclear policy using our online advocacy tools available through the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s Turn the Tide Campaign. The goals of the Campaign are to educate the public and promote advocacy of US nuclear policies that will provide security for the US and the world.
