Tell Center for American Progress... Netanyahu Is #NotProgressive


Dear Miriam,


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington, DC on
November 9-10 to meet with President Barack Obama to discuss the US
providing up to $45 billion in more weapons over the next decade!

We've already delivered a petition to the State Department, signed by more
than 60,000 people, calling for
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ZYj08onFiCv3sqiIl%2F%2FBYZRL8i
uWsjo2> NoWeaponsForIsrael.org, which you can still sign if you haven't yet.


Netanyahu will also be picking up an award from the American Enterprise
Institute, a neocon think thank (no surprise there). And thanks to pressure
from the Israeli Embassy and AIPAC, he's also scheduled to speak at the
Center for American Progress (CAP), a self-defined progressive policy
institute.


<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=DaxiQIXoiCMdoJn7yQNZXpRL8iuWsj
o2>

Let's be real. Netanyahu has no business speaking at CAP.
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=akgQA2SGukJneoiKwb4ct5RL8iuWsj
o2> Sign our petition to CAP's President Neera Tanden telling her that
Netanyahu is
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=64pLO4jRY7vwGioJRHQtDZRL8iuWsj
o2> #NotProgressive and urging her to disinvite the Israeli prime minister.
Help us reach 10,000 signatures and we'll deliver the petition to her.

The apartheid policies of Netanyahu and the Israeli government have
alienated progressive opinion in the US. This heavy-handed pressure on CAP
is a desperate measure by Israel and its lobby to woo progressives. Let
Netanyahu speak at all the neocon events he wants. But let's deny him the
opportunity to present himself as a progressive. Sign our petition today at
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=n5Mj9W8lTGMRUzI73Og9dJRL8iuWsj
