With 2.3 million people trapped in Gaza, under fire from Israel’s relentless bombing–including suffocating illegal white phosphorus, peace activists worldwide are demanding a ceasefire to stop the unfolding human catastrophe and lift the blockade barring food, medicine, water and electricity to the Palestinians in Gaza.

After 75 years of occupation–and the recent Hamas attacks in Israel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken flew to Tel Aviv to profess ironclad support and billions of dollars more for apartheid Israel as it imposes lethal collective punishment–a violation of international law–on the people of Gaza, 50% of whom are children.

Our guests will offer a counter-narrative that affirms the Palestinian desire for liberation, addresses the root causes of the violence and issues a call to action.

CALL TO ACTION

Contact the White House, your Senators and Representative to:
1) Ask for a ceasefire in Gaza
2) Tell them you oppose the use of American aid to pursue inhumane collective punishment
3) Prioritize the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering in Gaza
