Netanyahu AIPAC speech disrupted by CodePink activists in settlement protest



Code Pink Disrupts Netanyahu Speech, Pulls Off AIPAC Hoax

Activists with the group Code Pink interrupted Netanyahu’s speech on two
occasions with calls to freeze settlement building and end the
US-backed blockade of the Gaza Strip. One protester said Israel is
guilty of war crimes. Earlier in the day, Code Pink pulled off a hoax
by releasing a fake press release in AIPAC’s name calling for a
complete freeze on Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories.
Code Pink members also dressed up in suits and handed out copies of the
statement outside the AIPAC conference to confused attendees. Several
major news outlets picked up the statement before AIPAC issued a
denial. We’ll have more with author Norman Finkelstein later in the
broadcast.

CODEPINK Protests Netanyahu inside AIPAC Gala
Activists call for end to siege on Gaza and illegal settlements

WASHINGTON - March 23 - Shortly after announcing Israel’s commitment to defense in
his address to the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC) Gala, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was disrupted
by a demonstrator. Rae Abileah, 27, from Half Moon Bay, CA, jumped onto
AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr’s private table alongside the
stage and unfurled a pink banner that said “Netanyahu: Build Peace Not
Settlements!” Abileah shouted, “Lift the siege of Gaza! No illegal
settlements!” as she was forcefully removed from the building. A second
disruption came moments later from Joan Stallard, from Washington, DC,
who shouted, “Stop the settlements!”

Today, Tuesday, March 23, at noon CODEPINK is planning to build a settlement (including homes and
beds) inside Senator Schumer’s and Senator Lieberman’s offices (Hart
Senate Building, offices 313 and 706). CODEPINK’s protests of the
policies of AIPAC during their national conference this week have
included daily morning protests, staging of a checkpoint for attendees,
an afternoon press conference announcing the launch of a city-wide
boycott of products illegally made in the settlements, and the release
this morning of a spoof press release from AIPAC announcing that the
organization was calling for a settlement freeze.

American Jewish peace activists are outraged at the influence that AIPAC has on
U.S. policy. “AIPAC supports policies of aggression that damage
Israel’s reputation, harm innocent Palestinians, and contribute to
making America less safe in the world,” said Jewish-American activist
Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK.”
