On September 8, the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine highlighted the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip during our Stand Out in Central Square, Cambridge MA. Our message was:
WE SHOULD FUND COMMUNITY NEEDS—NOT ISRAEL’S MISDEEDS!
The U.S. gives Israel 3.8 BILLION of our tax dollars annually—that’s nearly $11 million EVERY DAY! These funds are urgently needed at home.
With the spread of Covid-19, the densely-crowed Gaza Strip faces a humanitarian catastrophe. Its health care sector is on the verge of collapse, 97% of its water is polluted, and electricity is only available 4-8 hours a day.
PLEASE TELL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS:
Stop funding Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights.
Demand that Israel ends its blockade of the Gaza Strip.
LET GAZA LIVE!
