The Alliance Stands Up & Stands out
Today, as the annihilation of Gaza enters its 5th month, the Alliance held a Stand Out at Central Square in Cambridge. In spite of the World Court's ruling the Israel is 'plausibly' committing genocide, the Biden Administration is urging Congress to give Israel an additional donation from US taxpayers of $14.1 billion in 'no strings attached' aid. The SHAME of it all!
Israel is flooding Gaza’s tunnel network: scientists assess the risks
“...some water researchers are warning that flooding tunnels with seawater could have a devastating effect on Gaza’s already scarce freshwater supplies and might destabilize buildings. There are also concerns that flooding the tunnels could endanger many of the approximately 130 remaining Israeli hostages who were abducted by Hamas in its attacks of 7 October 2023. The hostages’ locations remain unknown. But one researcher Nature spoke to says he suspects the impact of the flooding will be limited, because Gaza’s aquifer is already contaminated by seawater.”

Maine: No Business as Usual Until Ceasefire in Gaza
“Around 200 people gathered in Portland, Maine yesterday in support of Palestine, grieving ongoing genocide in Gaza that Israel did not even pause after the ICJ ruling.
We stood on several corners of a very busy intersection where cars enter and exit I-295 and eventually moved into the road to block both on ramps and off ramps at the Franklin Arterial. Eleven of us were ultimately arrested after refusing to break our blockade.
I'd like to write a longer post about our arrest experience which was interesting in several aspects, but I don't have time for that today. So for now I'll share my friend Bruce's account .
