Israel's January 2009 war on Gaza killed 1,400 people and laid waste to much of Gaza's infrastructure, damaging or destroying schools, hospitals, government buildings, UN facilities and thousands of homes.
A recent UN fact-finding mission led by Judge Richard Goldstone called the Israeli assault "a deliberately disproportionate attack designed to punish, humiliate and terrorize a civilian population." Both before and after the war, Gaza has been subjected to a crippling siege that has made daily life, let alone post-war reconstruction, virtually impossible.
But the war also sparked an international wave of protest calling for boycott, divestment and sanctions of Israel until it stops its brutal policies of occupation, collective punishment and apartheid.
Come hear and eyewitness account of the destruction in Gaza and learn how you can become a part of the growing movement for justice in Palestine!
