Boycott, Divestment: Ending Israel's Occupation
from The Link, a publication of Americans for Middle East Understanding AMEU.org

Excerpt: Drive along Indian School Road, between University Boulevard and US-25, in downtown Albuquerque, on April 8, 2009, and you'd be hard-pressed not to catch sight of a particular billboard displaying a young Palestinian girl on one side and an Israeli tank on the other.

No More Military Aid to Israel." And were you to continue north on 2nd Street and turn right onto Montano Road, then merge onto I-25S, then onto I-40W until you came to Coors Boulevard NW, you would come upon yet another billboard with the same message, and you might have noticed that it was sponsored by Stop$30Billion.com.
