Come Protest the Inaugural Event of the Oregon-Israel Business Alliance

The Oregon-Israel Business Alliance (OIBA) will be holding an event celebrating Oregon's new bilateral cooperation mission to "designate Israel as a key trading partner". Former Governor Ted Kulongoski and a representative from the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco will be presenting on the initiative to increase economic ties between the two states.

The State of Israel continues to commit massive abuses of human rights, violates international law and maintains its deadly blockade of the people of Gaza.

Oregon should not increase its trade with Israel but rather move to cut all ties to the state of Israel until it follows international law and grants its Palestinian citizens full and equal rights.  Events in the middle east over the past month have proven that US support for dictatorships and those who violate human rights is unacceptable and only leads to further suffering for the people of the region.  This also stands for states which practice apartheid such as the state of Israel.  Oregon must stand on the side of human rights and international law not on the side of occupation, colonization, and racism.

We will have signs available.
No support for Dictators and No to support for Apartheid!
Oregon Says No To Occupation!
