Warplanes lined up at Hilo Airport 10/31/23.  Big war games going on at Pohakuloa.

Build up for a war with China as the US declining empire gets more desperate.

Join the Friday, Nov. 3rd Hilo Peace vigil 3:30-5 PM at the downtown Hilo Post Office and the Sat. Nov. 4th 10 AM till Noon Protest at the Hilo airport intersection calling for a Ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. 

Let’s also call for a Ceasefire at Pohakuloa too!  Shut down Pohakuloa.  Clean up the military toxic mess there from 75 years of bombing and returned the stolen land to the Hawaiian people.

Israel – Hamas Ceasefire

Now!

Before further death toll of the innocent

                                                       

      Our organization wants to extend our gratitude and aloha to organizations –Jewish Voices for Peace (JVP), Code Pink, and others in the US and throughout the world who have been standing up in non-violent witness calling for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation of the violence in Gaza. See JVP website https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ See 2 min. video of Code Pink activists (including Ann Wright) standing up in Congress for a Ceasefire https://youtu.be/DC1DFN0xj2Q?si=dwTMFkbhzuOD6RFi      

     We agree with Hawaii resident and retired US Army Colonel and diplomat, Ann Wright, who recently wrote: “I deplore the killings done by Hamas on October 7 in which 1100 Israelis and 328 from other nations died.  And I deplore the massive retaliation and revenge that the State of Israel is wrecking as collective punishment on the civilians in Gaza in the name of destroying Hamas. Over 8,000 Palestinians, including over 3000 children, have now been killed in the three weeks of massive air and artillery attacks on Gaza and over 20,000 have been injured with hundreds, if not thousands, missing under rubble… Now the State of Israel is purposefully destroying the food, electricity, water, medical, communications and sewage systems in Gaza. Israel is telling hospitals to move their patients so they can bomb the buildings… A genocide is taking place in the Gaza ghetto with the complicity of the United States government.” Read more –https://popularresistance.org/costs-of-occupation-and…/

More War is NOT the Answer! Diplomacy for Peace is!

1 . Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.
       4. Oppose all discrimination: anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Russian, anti-LGBTQ, etc. 5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.

Costs Of Occupation And Blockade: Destruction Of The Gaza Ghetto

By Col. (ret.) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. I deplore the killings done by Hamas on October 7 in which 1100 Israelis and 328 from other nations died.  And I deplore the massive retaliation and revenge that the State of Israel is wrecking as collective punishment on the civilians in Gaza in the name of destroying Hamas. Over 8,000 Palestinians, including over 3000 children, have now been killed in the three weeks of massive air and artillery attacks on Gaza and over 20,000 have been injured with hundreds, if not thousands, missing under rubble. As documented in Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center located in… -more-
