"Israeli Technologies of Apartheid"

Boston Activists Disrupt Israeli Propaganda Event at the Museum of Science

Boston, MA, May 3, 2010 Local activists protested the so-called Israeli Innovation Weekend (IIW) at the Museum of Science in Boston through multiple, disparate actions on Sunday. IIWs sponsors, including the Consulate General of Israel to New England, were left flummoxed by the activists efforts and largely unable to prevent their successful, multi-pronged disruption of the event.

Protesters targeted IIW because it was part of a state-sponsored campaign to greenwash Israels discriminatory, apartheid regime and atrocious human rights record. IIW was officially sponsored by the Israeli Consulate, which also played a major role in funding and planning the event; nearly half of IIWs steering committee was composed of Consulate staff and the Consulate was one of the top donors.

@OnlyTheTruth I can see you're intelligent. Thank you for shining your glorious, radiant, loving light on the situation.

[OnlyTheTruth]

@kristallklar1 What do you know about intelligent conversation? Its hard to have an intelligent conversation with people who suck on US d**k. You hide behind US veto power like some pussies to continue your illegal occupation, and you want an intelligent discussion on why you are occupying 2.5 million Palestinians and their land? There is no discussion when apartheid is concerned. Go shoot some innocent Palestinian school children now.

Great job! Boston has balls and I'm proud to be from Boston. These people will sleep at night knowing they stood up for the truth, nothing but the whole truth!

[kristallklar1]

Wow, you actually had a chance to speak to the audience in an extended dialogue. Instead, you chose to continue with your cliched, sound-byte-inspired ramblings as you were escorted out of the building. You don't want to have an intelligent conversation?

Who am I kidding? You couldn't have an intelligent conversation on the Israel-Palestine issue even if you tried. Why? Because you are so hot-headed and so bigoted. Nor would you want to have a dialogue, right?

Israel is a rogue state, as it has not fulfilled the essential conditions its leaders agreed to in order to be recognized by the UN -- primarily, right of return of Palestinian Arabs to homes they were forced from thru violence & terror, & active cooperation to enable an independant, sovereign Palestine. Israel continues to expand its territory, refusing to define its borders, while interfering with Palestinian self-rule & practicing outrageous forms of oppression, violence, theft & occupation.

[rachelgolem]

Yes, Israel stole all the computer and pharmaceutical companies from the Palestinians!!!!

HA HA HA
