DESCRIPTION:Thursday  August 14   7pm  \nCome to Revolution Books, Berkeley to see the 
 webcast of a major forum in NYC: \nStop Israel's Ongoing War Crimes Against 
 the People of Gaza\n\nSpeakers include:  \n\nSusan Abdelghafar & Monica 
 Murillo, Students for Justice in Palestine, John Jay College\nRefaat 
 Alareer, editor of Gaza Writes Back\nRichard Falk, UN Special Raporteur on 
 Human Rights (by link)\nAlan Goodman, writer,

 filmmaker, One Family in Gaza \nIlan Pappe, historian/activist/author The

 Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, author Shattered Hopes: Obama’s 
 Failure to Broker Israeli-Palestinian Peace\n\nArtists, performers, and 
 more voices from Gaza to be announced by WorldCantWait.  \n\nTerrible 
 crimes against humanity are being committed in front of our eyes. Nobody of 
 conscience can remain silent. Those of us living in the United States -- 
 the country that enables Israel's crimes against the people of Gaza, with 
 political, financial, military, and moral support -- have a particular 
 responsibility to resist and make clear these crimes are not being done in 
 our name.\n\nOn August 14 we will come together, physically, in one place. 
 We will bring diverse views and perspectives - including on the nature and 
 role of Israel -- but a shared commitment that Israel's ongoing war crimes 
 in Gaza must stop immediately. In doing so, we will strengthen the 
 foundation from which to call forth new and expanding waves of protest 
 until these crimes being perpetrated against the people of Gaza by Israel 
 stop. \n\nIsrael has killed more than 1900 people, with civilians 
 representing the majority of those whose status and identity has been 
 verified, and likely many more in its bombardment and invasion. Nearly two 
 million essentially defenseless people are locked down in an outdoor 
 prison, traumatized, subject to death from the air at any moment, without 
 access to drinkable tap water or electricity. As they dig out from the 
 rubble in scenes that evoke some of the great crimes in history, as they 
 bury their dead, the people of Gaza continue to be subjected to collective 
 punishment that constitutes an ongoing war crime and crime against 
 humanity. On August 8, Israel resumed bombing, breaking the ceasefire. 
 \n\nThere have been important statements and courageous protests against 
 worldwide. Yet the horrors continue. Resistance to these crimes must become 
 much more broad, diverse, and determined. \n
