Video Available: Emergency Forum to Condemn the Israeli Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla at Revolution Books NYC
On June 1, an overflow crowd packed Revolution Books in New York City for an Emergency Forum to Condemn the Israeli Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. The speakers provided a highly informed picture of the situation in Gaza, in Israel, and the real story behind the massacre on the Mari Marmara. And there was serious engagement between different perspectives on the root causes of Israel’s crimes, and the implications for what must be done.
Participants were:
- Alan Goodman, correspondent for Revolution newspaper
- Chris Hedges, author, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle
- Abdeen Jabara, past-president of the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee
- Joel Kovel, author of Overcoming Zionism: Creating a Single Democratic State in Israel/Palestine
- Adam Shapiro, human rights activist and co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement
The event was hosted by Andy Zee of Revolution Books. Links to a downloadable video of all the presentations that can be shown to groups is available (along with an audio file, and links to YouTube clips) at the website for Revolution Books, www.revolutionbooksnyc.org.
