END THE SIEGE OF PALESTINE




When you think about it the facts are clear, Israel has established a sequence of sieges against those Palestinean territories which it has not formally annexed, ie. the West Bank and Gaza. Gaza in particular is being deprived of basic necessities, this is a Crime Against Humanity.

We need to educate those who are uneducated or miseducated about this ongoing act of State Terrorism.

This is the Progressive Education strategy, to educate the uneducated. What do people need to be educated about? Well, first there are the facts, facts of geography, facts of history, economic and social facts and so on and so forth.

As a United States citizen I am outraged that my government is providing billions of dollars in aid to Israel which has carried out a relentless campaign against Palestine and Palestineans for decade after decade. Siege has been outlawed as a war crime as well, the fact that Israel has routinely engaged in the mass torture of millions of Palestineans by depriving them of the necessities of life is an egregious crime that must be repudiated by genuine defenders of human liberty and human rights.
