CJPIP posters went up in CTA trains and downtown Chicago transit stations, used daily by thousands of Chicago commuters. Their central message is that:
"US military aid is counterproductive for Palestinians, Israelis, and Americans and will not lead to a just and lasting peace."
They also wanted word out that Washington signed a "Memorandum of Agreement" to supply Israel with at least $30 billion in military aid from 2009 to 2018," an amount likely to be increased. It amounts to a "blank check" to let Israel "do whatever it wants with impunity," even if it harms "American taxpayer(s) who (foot) the bill."
Other organizations involved include:
-- the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) Chicago Middle East Program;
-- Jewish Voice for Peace-Chicago (JVP);
-- Chicago Arab-Jewish Partnership; and
-- the Chicago Faith Coalition on Middle East Policy.
