DESCRIPTION:Join us for an emergency meeting where we will discuss the article: 
 Israel's Murderous Assault on the People in Gaza... And the Need to Oppose 
 These Crimes NOW! and why and how people in this country need to speak out 
 forcefully against this outrage!\n\nThere is a basic question of right and 
 wrong here: Israel's attack on the people of Gaza is essentially a mass 
 slaughter of civilians in the service of reactionary aims, to enforce and 
 impose an exploitative and oppressive world order. Nobody with a basic 
 sense of justice should be silently complicit in that!\n\nIsrael's assaults 
 on Gaza are taking place under cover of darkness-literally. Israeli 
 missiles and bombs have, at this writing, knocked out power in Gaza, 
 leaving people, hospitals, homes, and emergency responders without light. 
 What few reports from Gaza make it into mainstream media coverage portray a 
 reporter standing in pitch dark, describing sonic booms, earth-shaking 
 bombs, and flames erupting high into the sky. The Israeli assault has 
 already killed elderly people, children, and many, many other people who 
 could not possibly be considered "combatants" in any military activity 
 originating in Gaza.\n\nOne of those killed by the Israelis was the 
 11-month-old son of Jihad Misharawi, a BBC journalist who lives in Gaza. An 
 Israeli missile hit Misharawi's home on November 14, early in the assault, 
 killing both his son and sister-in-law. When the Israeli missile hit 
 Misharawi's home, there was no military activity observed in his 
 residential neighborhood. After the Israeli missile hit Misharawi's house, 
 his BBC editor tweeted, "if Israel can kill a man riding on a moving 
 motorbike (as they did last month) how did Jihad's son get killed." This 
 murder of the 11-month-old child and the sister-in-law of a BBC journalist 
 is part of a long record of Israeli (and U.S.) killings and terror against 
 even mainstream reporters to keep the world from seeing what Israel is 
 doing to the Palestinians.\nsee link

 either U.S. imperialism or Islamic fundamentalism, of particular importance 
 is "Bringing Forward Another Way" by Bob Avakian.\n
