Northern Gaza continues to be depopulated, while even residents of the south are receiving Israeli evacuation orders as the bombs force them closer to the Egyptian border. Israel is implementing its plans for ethnic cleansing.
There is an emergent mass movement in the United States unwavering in its struggle for the liberation of Palestine. Join us in Washington, DC on November 4 for the largest march for Palestine in U.S. history: the Palestinian cause is your cause.
“The only moral position at this time is to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the Israeli government with full material support from the U.S. and many European countries.”

They act knowing that our friends and colleagues in Gaza are subject to unending plagues and a nightmare of force very few of us have experienced.
