DESCRIPTION:The Dialogues Against Militarism delegation is back from a powerful month 
 in Palestine/Israel, meeting and building with Israeli and Palestinian 
 activists, learning about the Israeli occupation and resistance to it. We 
 want to share our experiences and reflections with our community who helped 
 make this delegation possible, and to talk about next steps!\n\nDAM Report 
 Back\nTues, December 15, 6pm - 8pm\nStation 40 (3030 B 16th Street)\nPlease 
 RSVP and let us know if you have any translation or childcare needs.\nWe 
 apologize – Station 40 is not wheelchair accessible.\n\nWe want to share 
 with you about what we experienced and learned during our delegation:\n- 
 Resistance rising up from the villages, cities, and refugee camps in the 
 West Bank and the neighborhoods of East Jerusalem\n- Israeli youth refusing 
 draft into the IDF and organizing against the apartheid policies of their 
 government\n- Collaborations and joint organizing between Palestinians and 
 Israelis\n- Evictions and housing demolitions in East Jerusalem\n- The 
 wall, checkpoints, settlements, and military patrols that enforce 
 occupation and apartheid\n- Settler and soldier violence on the streets of 
 Hebron, where apartheid "separation policy" wears no masks\n- Brutal, and 
 sometimes deadly, military repression of demonstrations against the wall in 
 Bil'in and Nil'in\n- Mass grassroots organizing against the Israeli 
 apartheid wall annexing half of the West Bank\n- Former Israeli Occupation 
 Forces soldiers who now speak out and work alongside Palestinians\n- and 
 more...\n\nIt is our hope that we can use this information-sharing to 
 strengthen the organizing we are doing here in the Bay in solidarity with 
 Palestinians and other people around the world resisting occupation. As the 
 "surge" in Afghanistan moves forward, it's crucial that we connect the 
 different elements of resistance to U.S.- led and supported 
 imperialism\n\nHope to see you there. \n
