The US-backed Israeli military has thus far killed more than 600 Palestinians and wounded thousands in its recent siege of the Gaza Strip. This Friday in downtown Santa Cruz, there will be a demonstration against the war in Gaza, and in the evening, a free film screening accompanied by speakers and a discussion about this ongoing crisis.

Dispatches: The Killing Zone
A British report on Israeli violence in Gaza against not only Palestinian civilians, but international aid volunteers and foreign reporters as well.

We’ll also show a few shorts of footage from the assault on Gaza in the past week.

SPEAKERS

DISCUSSION
After the film and speakers, we will open the floor to questions and discussions. What does this mean to us? How can we respond to these atrocities?

Also this Friday, January 9th:
5PM at the Santa Cruz Clocktower.
Join us to stand against the brutal siege in Gaza, Israeli Apartheid, and the oppression of the Palestinian people.
