Over 70 people were murdered by relentless Israeli artillery fire in just one neighborhood alone, al-Shujayeh, and the bombings of hospitals and schools take place on a daily basis.  Over 700 Palestinians have been killed, including entire families, with thousands more injured and displaced. In response to this ongoing massacre, a broad coalition of anti-war, Muslim and Arab-American groups have joined together to organize a national march on the White House on August 2.  Click here to read the call to action and list of co-sponsors. Every day, people across the United States are pouring into the streets to show their outrage at the ongoing Israeli massacre in Gaza. In many cities, these demonstrations are taking place on a near-daily basis – and are growing. Protests have been attended by many thousands in Boston, New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and San Francisco. While the U.S. government continues to shamefully offer unqualified support for the brutal Israeli regime, the people of the United States are making it clear that public opinion is sharply turning against this long-standing policy. The emerging movement that has brought so many people into the streets in local actions will now converge to illustrate the massive opposition among the American public to Israel’s new war and U.S. support for their atrocities. Join us!

All out: National march on Washington Saturday, Aug. 2! The destruction of a civilian shelter Dear pf, Just when you think that war crimes committed against the people of Gaza can't get worse, the Israeli military goes even further in their barbaric assault. Yesterday, Israel told civilians who sought shelter in the well-known United Nations School in Gaza to leave the compound. When moms and dads hustled their children out of the shelter into an open courtyard to evacuate to another site, they were mercilessly pounded by bombs and missiles. Two hundred people were wounded and 16 were immediately killed. Here's a report from the U.K's Guardian newspaper today (July 25): “Nour Hamid, 17, said: "We were packing up to leave when the attack happened. We were standing outside when they started hitting us, some of the women holding their babies. My sister-in-law was one of the injured. There were bodies everywhere, most of them women and children." “Laila al-Shinbari told Reuters: "All of us sat in one place when suddenly four shells landed on our heads … Bodies were on the ground, [there was] blood and screams. My son is dead and all my relatives are wounded including my other kids." “Ayman Hamdan, medical director at Beit Hanoun hospital, told the Guardian that medical staff were treating multiple shrapnel injuries and damage to internal organs, "Some of the bodies were blown apart. Such a massacre requires more than one hospital to deal with it," she said. “More than 140,000 Palestinians have sought shelter in UN premises during the conflict. Several schools run by UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, have come under fire in the last week. On Tuesday a school in Maghazi, central Gaza, sheltering about 1,000 people, was hit by Israeli shells as an UNRWA team inspected damage caused by an earlier strike.” The people of this country are mobilizing for the Saturday, August 2 National March on Washington D.C. People are coming by bus, cars, car caravans, trains and planes. Bring your friends and family. We can make a difference. Please make an urgently needed donation to help us pay for the buses and all the other expenses. We can do this with you, but not without you. The world is standing together for Palestine!
