DESCRIPTION:Wednesday, February 18th, 2009\n\n- 7:00 PM\n\n* REPORT-BACK FROM GAZA 
 *\n\nIdentical twin sisters Darlene Wallach & Donna Wallach are Jewish 
 anti-Zionist social justice activists. \n\nLast August they travelled to 
 Gaza Strip onboard the SS Liberty and the SS Gaza Strip, of the Free Gaza 
 movement, the first boats to arrive to Gaza from Cyprus in 41 years. 
 \n\nThey recently returned from Gaza after volunteering with International 
 Solidarity Movement (ISM), accompanying Palestinian fishermen and farmers, 
 and witnessing daily violations of the ceasefire by Israeli military. 
 \n\nFor 15 years, 1981-1997, Donna lived inside the 1948 borders of 
 historic Palestine, in what is now mostly known as Israel. She learned 
 first hand the extremely racist nature of Zionism and the apartheid state 
 of Israel, which led to her anti-zionist stance. \n\nDarlene had spent 
 almost two months in Palestine in 2002 most of that time fighting 
 deportation after witnessing collective punishment of Palestinians in Gaza 
 Strip and the West Bank. \n\nSince arriving to the Bay Area in 1997 she and 
 her sister have organized and worked collectively with grassroots groups to 
 educate the public about Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, Hugo "Yogi Bear" 
 Pinell, Ruchell Cinque Magee, police terrorism, the security housing units 
 in the prisons, and Palestine and the Palestinian people. \n\nThey are 
 passionate about justice and equality for all. Come listen to them speak 
 about the spirit, resilience, kindness, generousity, and sense of humor of 
 the Palestinian people and the peaceful ways they survive the extreme 
 hardships of Israeli blockade and violence.\n\n-\n\nRefreshments 
 provided.\n\n(wheelchair accessable)\n\nNPML 6501 Telegraph Ave. Oakland,
