Genocide, Congress, and the new President: Medea Benjamin

Each new week brings new calamities for Palestinians and for people in the countries neighboring Israel, as its leaders try to bomb their way to the promised land of an ever-expanding Greater Israel.

This is a hybrid event. Join us in person with Medea Benjamin at CCB’s Lothrop Auditorium or join us on Zoom or on Community Church’s YouTube channel.

In northern Gaza, Israel appears to be launching its “Generals’ Plan” to drive the most devastated and traumatized 2.2 million people in the world into the southern half of their open-air prison.

Bernie Sanders has filed six Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop sending taxpayer-funded US weapons to Israel, which it is using to commit war crimes.  Senators Warren and Markey have not yet indicated their support.  Medea Benjamin has been tirelessly working the halls of Congress and will bring us an up to date assessment of the struggle over US backing for Israel’s wars.

A new president will, we hope, have been chosen by the time of our event and Medea will also share her observations on the election results.

Medea Benjamin is co-founder of CodePink: Women for Peace, one of the nation’s leading peace and justice organizations.

Sponsored by MAPA Education Fund and Community Church of Boston.  Donations to Community Church will be appreciated.

Join us in person with Medea Benjamin at CCB’s Lothrop Auditorium or join us on Zoom or on Community Church’s YouTube channel.

While in Massachusetts, Benjamin will also speak at Northampton Friends Meeting on Friday, Nov. 8, at 6:30 pm, and at the Wayland Mosque for a Justice for All benefit dinner, Saturday, Nov. 9, at 5:30 pm.

Submitted by SOCAN Elections always have consequences. This is especially the case for our potential to address the climate crisis when some candidates for office accept the science of global warming and it climate change consequences while others display something between skepticism and outright rejection of science.
