[Marxism] Antiwar movement - the next generation

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Want to see the future of the antiwar movement? The newly formed chapter of 
ANSWER-South Bay (that's South San Francisco Bay area, i.e., San Jose and 
environs) consists almost entirely of students, a few in college but most in 
high school and some even younger. Most are Palestinian, brought into motion by 
the Israeli invasion of Gaza.

At today's San Francisco rally, an incredible speech was delivered by ANSWER 
South Bay representative Sarah O'Neal. Sarah is...in 8th grade! As a point of 
persepective on how long these wars and occupations have been going on, she was 
in 2nd grade when the U.S. invaded Iraq, and in Kindergarten when the U.S. 
invaded Afghanistan. And now, the chances are quite likely she'll be graduating 
from high school and eligible for service in the military long before those 
occupations are finished.

Must-watch video:

Incidentally, today's rally was organized by ANSWER and the National Assembly, 
with Richard Becker from ANSWER and Jeff Mackler from the National Assembly two 
of the moderators (and speakers).
