Activists Arrested Protesting Ariel Sharon's Visit to the White House

14 Apr 2004--Today, as Ariel Sharon and George Bush met in the White House, the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, and other organizations held a press conference, rally and civil disobedience action demanding "Free Palestine." The Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation initiated today's action, at which Mahdi Bray, the Executive Director of the MAS Freedom Foundation, and Sarah Friedman, National Outreach Coordinator for the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, were arrested on the White House sidewalk in an act of protest against the Sharon/Bush war on the Palestinian people. When the police blocked the protest from marching forward on the White House sidewalk, Mahdi Bray refused to leave and Sarah Friedman stepped forward from the group of assembled demonstrators and joined him. While they were being arrested, supporters held signs reading "Ariel Sharon and George Bush are War Criminals" and chanted "Occupation is a Crime, from Iraq to Palestine."

Another example of american citizens (taxpayers) having their rights thwarted by it's own government. And I thought it was my country. After watching that "speech" I thought about the fifty-plus percent of the country that isn't even recognized by this moron. I guess half of the country doesn't rate, but they sure love our money though.
