Occupy AIPAC protesters rally against a war on Iran

[Iran Press TV] Occupy AIPAC demonstrators have held a rally outside the pro-Israel lobby group's annual conference in Washington to voice their opposition to potential war on Iran.

The protesters, part of the nationwide Occupy movement, held placards reading "No War on Iran" and "They Lied about Iraq, They're Lying about Iran" as they rallied outside the Washington Convention Center on the first day of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference on Sunday.

"After 10 years of war, the American people need a foreign policy that focuses on diplomacy, not military intervention," said Medea Benjamin, one of the protesters.

"We are rallying to demand that our current leaders not take us down the same patch as past leaders did in Iraq," Benjamin said.

The protesters also called on US President Barack Obama
Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back...
to reject Israel's push for war on Iran.
