Protest Against Trade with Israel Friday

UPDATE: Report-back from Trade Office Protest | Photos from Friday | Feb. 18 Protest at U of M

For the second time in two weeks, protesters will gather at 3pm Friday at the Minnesota Trade Office on 332 Minnesota Street in downtown St. Paul to demand an end to trade with Israel. On January 23rd, activists entered and sought to occupy the office, then exited the building when police arrived and demanded they do so. The group released a statement saying, "The Minnesota Trade Office is the bureaucratic middleman in the economic relationship between Minnesota and Israel, facilitating the economic collaboration of the nations and their corporations that exceeds $125 million in domestic exports annually, of which $4 million alone comes from military contracts with local arms merchants such as Napco International in Hopkins, and Alliant Techsystems in Edina."

Action at MN Trade Office in St. Paul Confronts Minnesota Ties to Israeli Attacks on Gaza

TCIMC update 11:15am: The action is over; the activists inside the trade office building chose to go outside rather than be arrested after officials called the St. Paul Police Department.

from a statement released this morning:

At 10am this morning, January 23rd, 2009, approximately 20 local residents entered and sought to occupy the Minnesota Trade Office in downtown Saint Paul demanding an immediate end to all trade between Minnesotan companies and the State of Israel. They have issued the following statement signed by some of the participants and their supporters:

"We are here at the Minnesota Trade Office today, as we should be every day, demanding an end to all business between Minnesota and the State of Israel. While the recent devastation of the Gaza strip weighs heavy on our conscience, the violent occupation of Palestine and the systematic killing of Palestinians is unfortunately nothing new. Although Palestinians, and all people, deserve sovereignty, justice, and peace, we are here today as residents of Minnesota, many of us Jewish, because state-sanctioned genocide in the occupied territories continues without relent.
