Not in Our Name: Ceasefire/Peace/Justice in Palestine/Israel ~ Nov 9 Event ~

“Cease fire demonstration at the state capitol, Madison Wisconsin this afternoon. Of course, this is not to excuse attacks on civilians by either side. Neither side is my enemy. My enemy is war.”

Thursday Nov 9 – Larry Orr of VFP Madison

Brad and Jane.
Jane has held that poster since the days of America’s war in Vietnam.
If only our leaders could read….

Esty and friends with our Madison-Rafah Sister City project.

Thousands of mothers and children are dead tonight in Gaza. More will die tomorrow… unless we can get a cease fire, and allow drinking water to flow, and allow hospitals to be hospitals, and, and, and….

Thank you, dear friends.

Thank you, again.

Milana, age 3, was killed in Gaza.

More and more…

indeed

The eyes that have been closed.
