the undeniable truth and horror of the
Holocaust — and related it to the black
experience.
"The Palestinians have the right to a
state, but not at the expense of Israel,"
Flowers said. "Israel must be allowed
to exist without being threatened
day in and day out by any of its Arab
neighbors."
He also called the U.N. Goldstone
report condemning Israeli actions
during the Gaza War "a one-sided
report condemning Israel for defend-
ing itself." He said the Jewish people
"are right to defend yourselves against
the atrocities that come your way."
Bryce Sandler, a political activist
involved in Michigan and national
efforts to divest from companies doing
business with Iran, outlined steps that
can be taken to provide economic
pressure. He called for support of the
Iranian Refined Petroleum Act, which,
he said, is stalled in Congress, as well
as individual efforts to ensure that per-
sonal financial portfolios are Iran-free.
Worried Crowd
JCRC Vice President Nancy Welber
Barr read a statement for U.S. Rep.
Gary Peters, D-Bloomfield Township,
who had recently returned from Israel.
"With the threat from Iran growing
every day, it is clear that Israel needs
the support of the United States more
than ever',' the statement read in part.
"The U.S. needs to take swift action
to reduce the Iranian threat." Peters
called on Congress to pass legislation
to increase sanctions.
Many in attendance were pleased
with the rally. "We're here to make clear
that not everybody believes what this
yoyo [Ahmadinejad] is spouting at
the U.N.," said Robert Levine of West
Bloomfield, who attended with his wife
Francine. "He's full of spurious prevari-
cations. My conscious compelled me to
be here."
"I think all of us have to speak out
against this madman:' agreed Steven
Schwartz, Oakland County commis-
sioner from Farmington Hills. "He's a
Holocaust denier and the No. 1 threat
to the security of Israel. And he's clear-
ly trying to develop nuclear weapons,
which can be used against the United
States and its allies. He needs to be
stopped."
Mel Seidman of Farmington Hills has
some choice words for Ahmadinejad,
but was concerned that rallies and
sanctions won't be enough to stop Iran.
"I don't think its going to be resolved
peacefully. I think Iran has made up its
mind, and they're going to do it."
Myron Ranney of Grosse Pointe
Woods heard about the rally on the
radio and decided to drive over to take
part. "I was delighted to be here," said
Ranney, a U.S. Air Force veteran and
history buff."I'd be fearful if people
didn't do something like this. This isn't
just about the Israeli people. There are
a lot of Christian people who will sup-
port Israel and the Jewish people."
