Context for what is happening in Gaza and Israel

Warfare Dressed as Water Policy
“This summer, Palestine’s ongoing water crisis reached dangerous new heights. Next to the surge in settler activity, anxiety about the lack of domestic water supply was the most common topic on people’s lips. And for many strapped households like Ramzy’s, the safety of what they could obtain to drink was often not a priority. Among the factors contributing to the particularly acute shortage were the unprecedented summer heat, Israel’s cruel reduction, by 25 percent, of supply to the governorates of Hebron and Bethlehem, resource pressure from the post–COVID-19 influx of summer residents from the Palestinian diaspora, and the seizure of artisan springs by settlers all across the West Bank.”

The Alliance, and friends, stand out & stand up!
On September 27, we did a stand-out in Cambridge, MA. We gave out several hundred leaflets and had good conversations with people passing by.
