<Please forward widely>

Report-Back from Palestine


Featuring local activists who just returned from Gaza and the West Bank:
Tom Arabia, Gerard “Hozz” Hosman,
Khury Peterson-Smith, Madeline Burrows

8pm Saturday, August 15 2009
Palestine Cultural Center for Peace
41 Quint Ave. Allston, MA

In an effort to build international solidarity with the Palestinian people,
the Viva Palestina humanitarian aid convoy succeeded in breaking the siege
of Gaza. Over 90% of those killed from Israel’s recent invasion of Gaza were
civilians, and the ongoing blockade is preventing basic necessities such as
medical supplies and food from entering Gaza. At the same time, Palestinians
in the West Bank also continue to suffer daily from the brutal Israeli
occupation, which is supported by billions of US taxpayer dollars every
year.

Come hear four activists who recently returned from Gaza and the West Bank
speak about conditions on the ground and what we can do to build a
solidarity movement.
All are welcome to attend the event. Invite your neighbors, friends, and
activist allies to build solidarity with the Palestinian people.
