This Monday, March 9, 2015, 5:15-6:30pm, Join human rights activists in a peaceful vigil to say no to ALL bigotry and Israel?s apartheid and human rights abuses . Two organizations that are part of the overall Israel lobby, the Sacramento Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and the Jewish Federation, are holding a ?Stand up Against Anti-Semitism: Confronting Hate? rally at the West Steps of the State Capitol, 10th & Capital from 5:30-6:30pm. Both these groups have falsely labeled criticism of Israel and boycott & divestment (BDS) campaigns as anti-Jewish and have advocated for taking away students' right to criticize Israel on UC campuses, so it is concerning that this rally may include attacks on free speech and defending Israel?s egregious record of violations of international law and human rights including the illegal occupation of Palestine, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and war crimes. Human rights activists be vigiling along 10th & Capitol with the messages that: 1) No bigotry is acceptable, whether against Jews, Christians, Muslims or any religious, racial or ethnic groups or against Palestinians or other Arabs; 2) Israel and the United States must respect international law and human rights; and 3) neither the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement nor criticizing Israel are anti-Jewish. Meet at sidewalk along 10th Street just west of the west steps. Meters stop running at 6pm. Signs will be provided. FMI: SacBDS at gmail.com; SacReg4PalestinianRights at gmail.com ?
