Joint flash mob (with AEPC) in front the U.S. embassy to protest against Trump's new 6-country anti-immigrant ban, March 6, 2017.
 

 
The ink was hardly dry on the new anti-immigrant ban that Trump signed, out of public view, the morning of March 6
th, 2017, when, a few hours later in Rome, at 7:30pm local time, AEPC held a quick flash mob in front of the U.S. Embassy to protest Trump's revised ban.

USC4P&J gladly participated in the event.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., o
pposition groups launched instant protests against the new travel ban; read about them here.

The signs that USC4P&J members held up outside the Rome Embassy read: “Stop bombing Yemen! Stop banning Yemenis! Peace and friendship!”, “Yemen”, of course, stands as well for the other five countries listed in Trump's ban but which could not be mentioned on the sign due to space limitations.

The U.S. in fact, not only unjustly bans citizens from all six of these countries, but it bombs them unrelentingly, too: Libya (massively in 2011 and again last year and this year), Sudan, Somalia, Syria (including an “accidental” bombing of Syrian troops defending the Aleppo airport from Isis, which subsequently permitted Isis to recapture the airport).

Iran has not been bombed yet with U.S. Hellfire missiles, but it has been hit by U.S. (and U.S.-Israeli) cyber “bombs” that have destroyed the operational capacity of plants and research centers. Yemen has been hit by U.S. Hellfire missiles shot from U.S. Predator drones; in addition, and more importantly, the U.S. furnishes the bombs and planes that the Saudi Air Force
uses to massacre huge numbers of Yemeni civilians; the U.S. also operates the tanker planes that refuel the Saudi jets in flight and furnishes the satellite data necessary to determine their targets – in a word, the U.S. does everything except physically push the “fire” button.

Let's not only tell Trump to stop banning Muslims from the six countries targeted, but also to stop bombing them as well, whether directly or indirectly.

Our only security is in peace.
