“In other war zones, civilians get injured, but it has been a small portion of the casualties… [in Gaza] over half of the people that I saw were children.”

Dr. Adam Hamawy has been volunteering for various humanitarian missions for wars and natural disasters over the past thirty years. He is one of 99 American physicians and nurses who served in Gaza this year, who sent an open letter to President Biden and Vice President Harris.

The letter ends, “Every day that we continue supplying weapons and munitions to Israel is another day that women are shredded by our bombs and children are murdered with our bullets.” That letter documented that “It is likely that the death toll from this conflict is already greater than 118,908, an astonishing 5.4% of Gaza’s population.”

Dr. Hamawy has been interviewed by CNN, the Washington Post, PBS and other media. His presentation and Q&A at Revolution Books will draw on his experience in Gaza from a unique perspective of having been in other war zones around the world. This will be a precious opportunity to experience and learn from a close-up and visceral picture of what is going on Gaza.

Dr. Hamawy will include a presentation of photos of his experience.

The event will be hosted and moderated by Alan Goodman. Alan is a revolutionary communist and a correspondent for revcom.us, writing about Palestine, Israel, and the role of U.S. imperialism. In 2008-2009, he covered and participated in the Gaza Freedom March that attempted to break the blockade of Gaza at the Rafah crossing from Egypt.

Spread the word now! Bring your friends, classmates, your colleagues, and everyone who needs to more deeply understand, feel, and act commensurately in response to the towering war crimes U.S. bombs, war planes, financial support, and diplomatic backing of Israel inflict on the Palestinian people in Gaza.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!
