At 'Zero Tolerance 4 Terror' rally in Times Square, counter demonstrators carry Pro-Palestinian Authority Arab signs reading, "No Justice, No Peace" -- a slogan stolen from recent Black rioters across the United States, taken originally from the mantra chanted by Black rioters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in Aug. 1991.

“The movement for Black lives must be tied to liberation movements around the world.”

The movement goes on the advise the federal government to “build invest/divestment campaigns that ends US Aid to Israel’s military industrial complex and any government with human rights violations,” a laundry list of other domestic actions designed to socialize the United States infrastructure and government system, and “organize campaigns against G4S and other global private prison companies that are profiting from the shackling of our community in the US, in Palestine, in Brazil and around the world.”

Under the “State Action” section officials are advised to “fight the expanding number of anti-BDS bills being passed in states around the country. This type of legislation not only harms the movement to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine, but is a threat to the constitutional right to free speech and protest,” among other items on the list.

Local officials are urged to “Map out local infrastructure needs and pass resolutions calling for the necessary reinvestment and rebuilding efforts. Coordinate direct actions of solidarity with South Africa, Palestine, Columbia and liberation movements across the globe.”

Under “Resources,” the links include one to the “BDS Movement” and another that sends readers to “Black Palestinian Solidarity.”

Organizations currently working on policy, according to the site, include the AFL-CIO, the NAACP, Dream Defenders, the anti-Israel US Campaign to End the Occupation, Institute for Middle East Understanding, and Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, among others.
