DESCRIPTION:Since Oct. 7, we have been mostly focused on the Israeli assault on Gaza, 
 unable to look away from the bombing, displacement and starvation of the 
 Gazan Palestinians.  At the same time, the oppression and violence against 
 Palestinians living in the West Bank has escalated.  In the past 6 months, 
 7000 Palestinians have been detained in the West Bank, including 440 
 children, and over 1500 Palestinians have been displaced from Area C. 
 (source: WAFA News agency and Reliefweb).  At least 317 Palestinians have 
 been killed by Israeli security forces and settlers in the West Bank since 
 the Gaza attack began, according to the Palestine Authority Health 
 Ministry. \nOur speaker will be Issa Amro, well-known Palestinian activist, 
 who was highlighted in the May 1 NY Times rhetorically asking if Issa is 
 the new “Palestinian Gandhi”.  Working with B'tselem, the Israeli human 
 rights organization, Issa coordinated the "Shooting Back" camera project in 
 Hebron, which distributed cameras to Palestinians so they could document 
 human rights violations by Israeli soldiers and settlers. In 2009 he won 
 the One World Media award for that project. He also founded the 
 organization “Youth Against Settlements”, whose mission is to promote 
 the use of nonviolent resistance against the Israeli Occupation. He endures 
 ongoing harassment by Israeli soldiers and settlers and has been arrested 
 over 100 times.  Issa will talk about the repression and harassment of 
 Palestinians in the West Bank and how that has been exacerbated since Oct. 
 7. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/05/15/18866291.php
