CEASEFIRE!!

The genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza—preannounced by officials in the Israeli government and leaders of the Israeli Defense Forces—is underway, and that murderous reality has focussed the world’s attention and created an essential and necessary urgency here in the US. Everyone of good will is united in calling for a Ceasefire Now! We have a unique responsibility here because without unrestrained USeconomic and military resources and support, complicity and arms, Israel could not have created the open-air prison that is Gaza, could not have constructed and expanded settlements in the West Bank, could not have built an apartheid system designed to disempower and ultimately disappear the Palestinian people. Salute to Jewish Voice for Peace for exercising free, fearless speech and putting their bodies on the line, and salute to Palestine Legal for fighting back on behalf of those who are targeted, suppressed, doxed, and punished for speaking truth to power. Gaza is this generation’s VietNam. Speak up! Act out!And yes, make your holiday with family uncomfortable by asking everyone explicitly to know the facts and face reality.
