Gaza

Gaza reliefOver the past several days, the news from Gaza has been deeply distressing. A whole series of Israeli-led peace organizations have been among the leaders of those calling on their government to end its siege of Gaza, which is crippling its impoverished population. Such groups as Gush Shalom, Combatants for Peace, the Coalition of Women for Peace, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, Bat Shalom, Bat Tzafon for Peace & Equality, and others have spoken out in response to the crisis. They are organizing a dramatic relief convoy which will travel to the Gaza border this Saturday to attempt to deliver humanitarian aid in the midst of the crisis -- a cause well worth supporting.
