Boston, Mass.-July 19, 2014:
About 300 protesters turned out at Park St. in Boston today July 19 to speak out against Israel’s brutal attack on Gaza’s Palestinians. A very emotional and spirited protest with speakers on the plight of Palestinians, loud and energetic chants of “Free Free Palestine” and ending with a mock “die-in” with the names of some of the hundreds of Palestinians killed read aloud. There was a small handful of pro US/pro Israel hecklers there which the Boston police seperated from our demonstration.
The protest today was sponsored by a wide coalition of Boston activists — Jewish Voices For Peace, UJP, ANSWER, Boston IAC, Committee For Peace And Human Rights, UNAC, as well as many others. Here are video and photo links:

We Are Market Basket, a union-less movement by Market Basket grocery store employees to get their ousted CEO reinstated, needs all the help they can get. I anticipate the BOD will move Friday to sell the company to some private equity firm, which will in turn fire all of Market Basket employees and possibly reconstitute the company as a clone of a Shaw’s or Star Market. These people, I fear, really don’t know what they’re up against, but God knows their cause is just. They are just trying to save their livelihoods, and which under the leadership of Arthur T. Demoulas, the aforementioned CEO who got canned, was quite good. Failing to stop the corporate behemoth means that some day we’ll all be peons toiling on the corporate manor. This has to stop somewhere. Maybe Tewksbury is a good place to start. http://wearemarketbasket.com/
