NANCY MURRAY
"The Destruction of Gaza"

Nancy Murray, who has visited Gaza a dozen times over the past 20 years, was
denied entry in late October. She and 100 international health workers and
academics tried to enter the Gaza Strip to speak at a conference, but ended
up demonstrating at its border. She will talk about the recent history of
Gaza and prevailing conditions today. Why has Jimmy Carter called the siege
"an atrocity, a crime, an abomination" and Israeli activist Michel
Warchawski declared that "Israel is conducting a rampant genocide against
the people of Gaza"? What is our responsibility?

Dr. Murray is founder and president of the Gaza Mental Health Foundation,
which raises funds for the work of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program
founded by Dr. Eyad el Sarraj. She is also on the advisory board of U.S.
Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, as well as a member of various
activist groups including the Boston Coalition for Palestinian Rights.
