Protest Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Israeli policy
April 1, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Calling all groups and individuals!
Israel apologists Sens.John McCain and Lindsey Graham will be speaking in Denver on “Violent Extremism and U.S. Response” on April 1, 2015 at the Denver Performing Arts complex. The event is hosted by The Cell and the Denver Post, and moderated by Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry.
No, this is not an April Fool’s joke, this racist, hypocritical, finger-pointing-at-Muslims talk is actually going to take place. Of course there will be no self-reflection on the United States or Israel’s part to their contribution to violent extremism. This is why Colorado groups must be there to hold up a mirror. From Ferguson, to Iran, to Palestine, we must stand up against our government’s terrorism.
Wealthy and powerful Zionist Larry Mizel, founder of the CELL terrorist museum, and one of Colorado’s largest political donors, recently co-chaired a fundraiser for Graham’s PAC. Mizel also was a top donor for McCain’s presidential run in 2008.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Colin Powell when he was the US Secretary of State, has severely criticized McCain and Graham for being Israeli allies who take aggressive postures toward diplomatic negotiations with Iran over its nuclear energy program and who are “angry that” the US did not attack Syria. Further, Wilkerson said McCain and Graham “are bordering on being traitors”. See Article
It was Senator Graham who warned the Palestinians in January of this year that they could lose annual US aid if they file a lawsuit against Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Graham made the remarks at a news conference in Jerusalem as part of a seven-member delegation of senators visiting the Middle East. See Article
In December 2014 while in Israel, Graham assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his colleagues in Congress would do whatever Netanyahu wanted when it came to US policy toward Iran. Graham stated “We will follow your lead” to Netanyahu. Graham also stated “Mr. Prime Minister, of all the leaders in the entire world, you’ve had the most consistent message regarding Iran: Beware of the Iranians – they lie, they cheat”. Read Article
McCain has continued to follow Netanyahu like a puppy dog, with statements ““Pay attention to what Bibi has to say when he speaks to Congress. He won’t be wrong.”, “The president [Obama] is delusional or in denial”, “Whatever it is, he is placing this nation in grave danger.”
