Westlake Center is the location of choice for the weekend activist set. In more agreeable weather, one can sometimes find three to four groups hocking their ideological wares from the sidewalks and plazas. A group of Pro-Palestinian activists braved the cold and damp this afternoon with tales of the Israeli police state. The Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign recently generated national attention with their attempts to purchase ad space from King County transit featuring similar allegations of Israeli war crimes. Complaints from Pro-Israeli groups lead to King County's decision to pull the ads and a temporary ban on all non-commercial advertisements on metro buses.
How can you help solve the most vexing political situation of the modern world? Simple: don't buy Israeli hummus. See page 6 of Voice of Palestine's pamphlet for details. Chickpeas -- chickpeas are the answer to the problem of Mideast peace.
