The City of Temecula is located approximately 60 miles north of downtown San Diego off of Interstate 15.
On January 29, 2004, Jerusalem Bus 19 was attacked by a terrorist homicide bomber resulting in the deaths of eleven innocent civilians and the wounding of fifty more. The terrorist bomber laced his explosives with metal shards for maximum lethality.
The Jerusalem Connection International (formerly Christians for Israel, USA) exhibits Bus 19 throughout the United States. The exhibit serves to help Americans visualize the terror that Israelis face on a daily basis and to heighten the public's awareness in regards to terror. Being able to come close to the bus, to look inside will remind people that this type of violence can occur anyplace, anytime and anywhere, including right here in America. For more information, go to www.bus19.org and http://www.mt-ra.com
This Bus 19 Memorial and Anti-terrorism Rally is sponsored by the Israel-Christian Nexus, the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly Club, StandWithUs.org and the Temecula Valley Republican Women Federated.
Additional exhibits and speakers will be on-site including police-sheriff (bomb squad & canines) and fire department first responder units, members from the Temecula Citizen Corps, the American Red Cross and the non-profit organization Pups for Peace. Pups for Peace trains canines in the United States in bomb detection and then sends the dogs to Israel for service (for more info go to: http://www.pupsforpeace.org)
The scheduled list of speakers include prominent leaders from the nation of Israel, local community and religious leaders, elected state officials, national security experts, and the President of The Jerusalem Connection International.
This event is being held to promote awareness and vigilance among the public about terrorism and to remind our community that such depraved acts of hatred can occur anywhere, even in our own hometowns if left unchecked. This event will have a distinctive American theme while also emphasizing the plight of Israel and the eleven innocent victims who were murdered on Bus 19.
Pro-American, pro-Israeli and anti-terrorism signs, patriotic flags, banners and similarly themed items are welcome. Flowers, cards and/or candles for the Bus 19 memorial exhibit are also appropriate.
DATE: Saturday, February 5, 2005
TIME: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm
LOCATION: Ronald Reagan Sports Park 30875 Rancho Vista Road, Temecula, CA
God Bless America.
Thank you for helping publicize this.
It's worth noting that despite these attacks, the majority of Israelis are not in favor of segregating Arabs living within Israel, and the Israeli Supreme Court has directed that the security barrier be re-routed in certain areas to respect the integrity of traditional Arab villages.
This bus was just at Berkeley on Sunday. A word to you and your group: you *will* be verbally *and* physically attacked, as *always* happened during the SF anti-American (oops, they called it "anti-war") rallies in 2003, and at Berkeley.
