“The heart of the Earth beats in Gaza now. It bleeds, but it beats,” says Dr. Mads Gilbert.

The Norwegian emergency surgeon returned to his home city of Tromsø on 31 July, after spending several weeks treating the wounded from Israel’s assault at Gaza City’sal-Shifa Hospital.

He went straight from the airport to give a spontaneous speech at a large solidarity demonstration for Gaza held at the same time.

Tromsø is twinned with Gaza City.

Please join us and please spread the word
THIS SUNDAY AUG. 10 at 1:00PM
****
VIGIL to honor and remember the over 1800 people killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza
 
Meet at the field just south of the Hawthorne Bridge, across from the Downtown Marriott Hotel (where the Blues Festival is held)

Our goal is to get at least 1800 people to come together to bear witness. We will have signs each with the name of one person who was killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza.

Meet at 1 PM to each get a name to hold and from there we will line up shoulder to shoulder along the waterfront to make a strong statement of what our US tax dollars are being spent on.
 
Together we will stand in vigil and solidarity for all the people of Gaza who were murdered and who must now try to re-build their lives.
 
We need lots of people there to make this effective.  Please come, bring family and friends. ~ Spread the word to all you know~
 
Thanks and with heavy hearts we must work harder than ever for peace and justice.
 
Note: this action is being organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, Americans United for Palestinian Human Rights, Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights, Friends of Sabeel North America, and other groups.  Please join us.

Moshe Feiglin, the deputy speaker of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, has published a plan for the total destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

His detailed plan, which calls for the use of concentration camps, amounts to direct and public incitement to genocide – a punishable crime under the Genocide Convention.

In a 1 August posting on his Facebook page, Feiglin, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party, calls for the “conquest of the entire Gaza Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters.”

“This is our country – our country exclusively,” he writes, “including Gaza.”
