I want to protest the war in Iraq tomorrow in Chicago--but,
I feel funny lining up with anti-Israel folks. Solutions?

1. I wish I could help you
but I faced the same thing. Is ANSWER sponsoring the protest?

2. Not the best solution
Remind any anti-Israeli folks that Israel is NOT part of the GRAND coalition! Also, remind them that Israel has a strong right-wing government, much like ours. So, unless they are out there protesting AMERICA, then shut the hell up! Protest the government, the war, but not the ENTIRE COUNTRY!. Hope that helps! Be safe!

Shalom!

3. There's a strong contingent of peacenik Israelis
like Shalom Achshav (Peace Now), but they don't happen to be running the show right now. So to know they're there you have to listen carefully, like in "Horton Hears a Who."

4. Thanks, all. There are many cosponsors so I guess my son and I
will try to find a nice corner with signs that say peace. Sigh...
