STOP AIPAC NOW!

For Peace in the Middle East, Stop AIPAC Now! (Website here)



The AIPAC Annual Conference. A gathering supporting war with Iran, continued occupation of Palestine, and the continued intimate relationship with the extremist "Christian" Right. See the details here....

A special page to discuss AIPAC's push for the next war, this time with Iran. Read about the Iran War Resolution.

Excerpt from Resolution supported by America's Pro-Israel Lobby (AIPAC):
...demands that the President initiate an international effort to immediately and dramatically increase the economic, political, and diplomatic pressure on Iran to verifiably suspend its nuclear enrichment activities by, inter alia, prohibiting the export to Iran of all refined petroleum products; imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran...
Such a blockade imposed without United Nations authority (which the resolution does not call for) would be seen as an act of war. Congressional sources say the House will likely vote on the resolution, H.Con.Res. 362 (see full resolution here), probably after the 4th of July recess (House votes resumes the 9th) . As of June 27, it already has 220 cosponsors in the House. Current list of cosponsors here. Click here for latest status.

Congressional leaders seem to have assumed that there would be little opposition to this punitive measure against Iran, and they have put it on a fast track to passage. But due to the threat of war, many organizations and reasonable Members of Congress are working overtime to stop this bill.

Please join Stop AIPAC and go to the Just Foreign Policy website and tell your Representative to oppose this dangerous path that could lead directly to war with Iran. Go Now. This may be the most important action alert of the year. This is the centerpiece of AIPAC's current political action. Can it be defeated?
