Visit our website: HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK ---------------------------------------------Carrying signs that said "Peace Not Vengeance" many thousands of New Yorkers met last night in Union Square park to urge a policy of peace and understanding. They stood against the xenophobia that is sweeping the country, the hatred and war fever cynically manipulated by the government and the press, and they stood with the thousands of people who have been intimidated and harassed because they are Moslem or people of color thought to be Moslem.
Overhead the military jets pierced the skies over the quiet city. The crowd sang, "Give peace a Chance." At another vigil earlier in the afternoon, the crowd sang, "Imagine." In New York the desire is for peace, not war. But NBC, CBS ABC all reported the Union Square Vigil as if it were a rally for the USA, for mourning the victims, but not a call fro peace. This is deliberate distortion, engineered to drum up war fever. The images of people calling for peace with signs and songs was disregard by the press, and the media represented the vigil as a patriotic outpouring of nationalism and Americanism.
