What About Gaza?
Posted May 29, 2018 at 5:37 am by Tim Dustrude
During May 2018, also known as The Great March of Return, over 10,000 Palestinians of all ages sustained injury along the border fence between Israel and Gaza. This is the most serious event in Palestine/Israel since 2014. At the same time, the United States moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, an unprecedented action in the 70 years since the UN Partition of Palestine which created the state of Israel.
Gaza, a tiny swath of land measuring only 25 miles long by six miles wide, is home to almost 2 million people, may refuges from areas now occupied by Israel, is at the center of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Beyond Gaza, Palestinians are the largest population of refugees in the world. Most Americans know very little about the situation, and those who do wonder what can possibly be done to bring peace and justice to Palestine/Israel.
If you would like to know more about the current situation in Gaza, come to a community meeting Tuesday, May 29th, 2018, 5pm at the San Juan Island Library. We are meeting in the community meeting room. For more information call (360) 298-8008.
