On Saturday January 17th Israel declared a unilateral ceasefire, halting the brutal 22 day siege against Gaza which included bombing and assault by Israeli ground, air and sea forces. This genocidal attack by the Israeli Zionist army killed over 1,300 people, including over 400 children, and wounded at least 5,500. This Israeli ceasefire did not guarantee the withdrawal of Israeli troops, which subsequently have been partially withdrawn from Gaza, and does not guarantee the opening of border crossings and lifting of Israel’s crippling 19 month blockade on Gaza which is still in effect. Israel’s ceasefire was followed by the Sunday January 18th Hamas declaration of ceasefire, with the condition that within one week Israel must withdraw troops from Gaza and end the blockade on Gaza. 

For over 100 years of Zionist migration, settlements and occupation in Palestine and then with the formation of the state of Israel, Palestinians have struggled against suffering, killing and terrorism. To study 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 for this presentation and discussion on the history of occupied Palestine, the recent siege and genocide against Gaza, what this ceasefire means for Palestinian people, and if Israel achieved what they had set out as their so called goals.
