EMERGENCY FILM SHOWING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

On Monday, Israel carried out a horrific, bloodthirsty massacre-- murdering at least 60 Palestinians and wounding more than 2,700 at the border with Gaza. This slaughter coincided with the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. Once again, the U.S. is providing vital material support and diplomatic cover for Zionist-Israeli occupation and crimes against humanity. 

Who are these people who are being so viciously mowed down by killers armed with deadly weapons? These are human beings who have been locked down, for decades, in the open-air prison known as the Gaza Strip—caged in and even taunted by a wealthy, powerful state that is literally sitting on land that was unjustly stolen from them when that state was founded through a war of ethnic cleansing.

The people of Gaza are denied the ability to travel outside this prison to see relatives, pursue their studies and careers. A sadistic blockade is choking the life out of them: food shortages that hit children especially; electricity for only three hours a day; lack of drugs and medical resources that turn routine problems into life-threatening dangers. Well over 2 million people confined under these hellish conditions to just about 145 square miles.

This reality is blotted out and justified by the media in the West.  Killing Gaza breaks the information blockade. It is a powerful and moving portrait of a people under relentless and genocidal siege. It is being released today, May 15, to mark the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, the forced removal of some 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in modern-day Israel by Zionist paramilitary forces.

Join us at RB for Thursday’s special film showing and discussion.
