Since that time, the Targum has received numerous phone calls, letters, and meetings with student and community representatives demanding an apology for running the racist advertisement, free space to affected communities at the University to respond (as was provided in past incidents of Targum-publishedracist material) and fair and balanced coverage. Despite the volume of complaints received, the Targum has refused to make a public statement about the issue or apologize for its lack of recognition of anti-Arab racism.
OUR VOICES MUST BE HEARD!
We call upon ALL communities affected by media racism to come together in common struggle! Unite against media bias and racism--speak out! Only through our unity and action will change be won.

We will say that endless war against the world shall not take place in our names; that we say NO to war with Iraq; that we say NO to bombing Vieques; that we say NO to the occupation and oppression of Palestine! We say YES to unity, to resistance, to struggle and to liberation---to making our voices heard against unjust war and oppression around the world.
As we protest, as we speak, US bombs are being prepared to fall on Iraq. These bombs have been falling, repeatedly, since the end of the Gulf War in 1991. The onslaught on the Iraqi people has never been lifted; bombs and sanctions have marked a wide swath of misery through Iraq.
As we protest, as we speak, US bombs are falling on Vieques. Puerto Rican land, long an area of colonialization, is also a testing ground for depleted uranium, for dangerous weapons that kill Puerto Ricans in order to provide a more effective means for killing Iraqis.
As we protest, as we speak, US-made fighter planes are buzzing over the Gaza Strip and West Bank, dropping US-made bombs and missiles on the people of Palestine. The Israeli government engages in its occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people with the money and weapons provided them by the US government. The monstrous injustice and dispossession visited upon Palestine the US and its Israeli client are brutal attacks designed to eliminate a population.
In Colombia, in the Philippines, in Afghanistan, in the Sudan, in Yugoslavia, the US military and US weapons have killed and continue to kill thousands and dispossess millions. We must take a stand to say that these wars are unacceptable, that the American people wish for something better than death and destruction, for ourselves, our children, and our fellow humanity around the world. We demand more: we demand justice.
We demand justice in our own nation for all of its residents. We demand the protection and expansion of our civil liberties. We demand that the Iraqi people not be killed in a quest of greed. We demand an end to the use of Puerto Rican land as a bombing range for the US military. We demand an end to US aid to Israel and support for the liberation struggle of the Palestinian people. We demand change, and we stand for action!

Stand up to resist the U.S. government's:
Joachim Martillo attended undergraduate school at Harvard University and received his graduate degree from Yale University. As a scholar, Joachim taught at both Harvard and MIT. Joachim is a commentator for many web related sites on Zionist myth, ideology and history.
The documentary often sees the world through the eyes of young people. The central character is Mohammed Hejazi, a 13-year-old paperboy in Gaza City, one of the young "stone-throwers" who risk their lives throwing rocks at Israeli tanks across the barbwire fences. As the newspapers arrive announcing Ariel Sharon's victory in the Israeli elections, Mohammed offers up tirades against Arafat and Sharon alike. We also catch glimpses of his inner world: his sense of hopelessness, his sorrow at the IDF killing of his best friend, his conception of death.
As the camera floats through the Gaza Strip, we encounter signs of the occupation everywhere: crowds of Palestinians are making their way along the beach on foot, donkey carts and tractor trailers when the Israeli soldiers close the roads. The Palestinians interviewed as they pass by reveal a common internal conflict, between anger at the Israeli occupation and the desire to live in peace."
