‘100 Years of Palestinian People in Struggle:
The Massacre of Palestinians in Gaza is an Ongoing
War Crime by the Israeli Zionist Regime’

(William Street at Commercial Drive)

After 18 days of the genocidal bombing and military siege by the Zionist Israeli army against Gaza, media sources report over 970 Palestinian people killed, and more than 4,400 wounded. Even though Israel is refusing to allow reporters into Gaza, photos and reports from the few reporters left in Gaza show that a gross number of those killed and injured are children, and that attacks are targeting Palestinian people indiscriminately and not specifically Hamas as Israeli officials claimed. Currently, in addition to bombing and the assault by Israeli ground, air and sea forces, reserve troops are moving in to further intensify the siege against Gaza. 

This campaign against Palestinian people by Israeli forces is not the first. For over 100 years of Zionist migration and settlements in Palestine, and over 60 years Israeli occupation, Palestinians have struggled against suffering, killing and terrorism by Zionist forces. To understand the current crisis in Gaza, it is necessary to look at the history of the Zionist encroachment and later occupation of Palestine. Please join us to discuss the history of occupied Palestine, and the current siege against Gaza. 

Topic questions:
~ What is the history of colonization of Palestine?
~ Why is Israel attacking Gaza at this time?
~ What issues are at stake?
