Israel, Gaza, and the Struggle for Palestine 10/17/2023

From the organizers:

Early on Saturday, October 7th, Palestinian resistance fighters broke through Israel's siege of Gaza. In response, Israel has declared total war against the people of Gaza, completely cutting off access to food, water, and electricity, while bombing the Strip and killing entire families.

This panel, featuring Wafic Faour (Vermonters for Justice in Palestine), Debra Stoleroff (Vermonters for Justice in Palestine and Central Vermont Jews in Solidarity with Palestine), and Nolan Rampy (Tempest Collective), discuss how to understand the current situation in Palestine, the 17-year siege of Gaza, and questions of resistance, colonialism, the role of Biden and US imperialism, and mass struggle.

Sponsored by Burlington Tempest Collective and Vermonters for Justice in Palestine. Central Vermont Jews in Solidarity with Palestine is happy to co-sponsor the event.
