Protest at Senator Bond's office in Solidarity with the People of Gaza



When: Monday, December 29th from 4-6pm

Where:  7700 Bonhomme- Senator Kit Bond's St. Louis Office



Over 300 people were killed in Gaza this past weekend in a series of
Israeli attacks - with US-made and paid for weaponry - upon the
Palestinian people. Journalists on the scene at Gaza Hospital report a
gruesome scene; shocked families pick through body parts to identify
loved ones - amputated bodies are strewn throughout hallways because
morgues in the city can no longer accommodate the dead. We demand that
Senator Kit Bond commit to asking for an immediate cease-fire and an
end to the inhumane siege and blockade of Gaza.

These cold-blooded killings come on top of an Israeli imposed siege on
Gaza designed to strangle the life of the Palestinians living there,
by denying them adequate fuel, food, medical supplies and power.

It is unmistakable that Israel carried out these attacks with F16
fighter jets and missiles provided by the taxpayers of this country.
