January 3rd
Stop Massacres in Gaza & Break the Siege!!
More than 350 Palestinians were murdered in 2 days. 1,600 wounded!
After the huge demo on last Sunday, where more than 4,000 people
showed support, and the other demos during this week, let's keep the
street shaking!!
Act now before it’s too late!
Protest against the Israeli genocide against Palestinians!
Stop U.S. support to Israel!
January 3rd. - 1 pm
Times Square, 42nd and 7th ave.
Followed by a march to the Israeli mission.
Trains: N,Q,R,S,W,1,2,3,7 to Times Square
We must act now, before the massacres continue! Over 360 people were
killed in Gaza since Saturday, December 27 in a series of Israeli
attacks - with US-made and paid for weaponry - upon the Palestinian
people. These cold-blooded killings come on top of a siege on Gaza
that has killed hundreds by depriving them of medical care, deprived
Gazans of electricity, power and fuel and attempted to strangle the
life of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The people of Gaza are standing steadfast in the face of these
massacres but our voices must be heard to demand an immediate end to
the massacres and an end to US aid to Israel! The Israeli military
is promising more massacres - we must say no NOW!

US, "Israel", Egyptian Government: End the Siege on Gaza
Open the Rafah Crossing Now!
Right to Food, Medicine and Freedom of Travel for Palestinians
Hands off the Palestinian Resistance
Right to Return for All Palestinians
While Americans are reeling from a financial crisis, losing homes,
jobs and access to education, BILLIONS of US DOLLARS are being
siphoned to help “Israel” starve and kill Palestinians.
The Israeli siege on the Palestinians has created a humanitarian
crisis in the Gaza Strip of unprecedented proportions. Israeli
Deputy Defense Minister promised the siege will effectively be a “Shoah”,
Hebrew for Holocaust. As promised, the “Shoah” continues unabated as
the world watches and facilitates the slow Genocide of the
Palestinian People , all in flagrant violation of international law
and the principles of self determination and humanity.
Although the Egyptian People have long stood in solidarity with
their Palestinian sisters and brothers, Palestinian have not seen
the same humanity from the Egyptian Government. Like leading lambs
to the slaughter, time and again the Egyptian government has forced
Palestinians back into Gaza and has further tightened restrictions
in obedience to the same “Israel” that wages war on the Arab World.
Arabs from across New York join the calls of their Brothers and
Sisters across the World, Palestine and Egypt and demand that Egypt
remove the closure of the Rafah Border Crossing, allow Palestinians
to access food and medicine, and to STOP facilitating the Israeli
genocide of Palestinians.

Join the Popular
Conference for Palestinians in the U.S.
Chicago, Illinois
08/08/2008
www.palestineconference.org
Efforts to convene a popular
conference for Palestinians in the United States on August 8, 2008
continue unabated. It has been little over a year since the call for
a popular conference for the Palestinian people in the US was
circulated. Since then, the response has been, for the most part,
enthusiastic. More meetings were convened. More ideas were
exchanged. Students, youth, workers, housekeepers, artists, and
teachers who spearheading this endeavor recognize the imperative of
holding a community-wide meeting of Palestinian Americans for the
purpose of making our community’s contribution to the Palestinian
struggle more effective and united.

The NY Committee for the PALESTINE POPULAR CONFERENCE
...Invite you to an evening of
testimony, remembrance, performance and community planning for
the future.
While 60 years have passed since almost a million Palestinians
were kicked off their land or murdered, there has still been no
apology, no reparations, and no right to return.
The Nakba is still occurring
everyday in the West Bank, Gaza, Jerusalem and in Palestine 48,
but so does the resistance. On Thursday May 29th, come hear the
stories and experiences of the survivors and resistors of Al
Nakba as they pass their stories on to a new generation of
Palestinians fighting for a free and liberated Palestine.

Through Family Sponsorship, your family now has the unique
opportunity to help alleviate the suffering of impoverished families
in Gaza Strip, Palestine, and show solidarity to those who are
impacted the most by the dire humanitarian crisis.
Family sponsorship is a community development initiative that
aims to change lives by delivering long-lasting, self-sustaining
improvements to help lift generations out of poverty. Your
sponsorship will empower parents and children caught in the cycle of
poverty.
With your support of $3 per day, delivered in direct monetary
assistance (Cash), you are giving your sponsored family the option
of sustaining essential life needs, be it food, health, education or
merely coming out of crisis.
Your own family will experience the joy of building bridges with
your sponsored family as you begin to build a relationship with
them. Your children will learn invaluable lessons about caring,
sharing and selfless kindness. You will have the option of
contacting your sponsored family, and even visiting them as a show
of your solidarity with their struggle for dignity, national and
human rights.
Family-to-Family sponsorship aims to alleviate the suffering of
impoverished families, and provide minimum support to the family
unit to sustain itself.
The network also aims to help the families further by supporting
education related projects that would provide an incentive for
children and youth to continue their educations with the Back to
School Schoolbag & Tools program and the Kasid University
scholarship program. Please see our website for more details.
