A year into witnessing, supporting and paying for Israel’s horrific genocidal barbarism in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria, Americans must ask if we have any power and agency to stop these atrocities. Wendell Berry writes: “We have become a society of people who cannot prevent our own children from being killed in their classrooms—and who do not much mind the killing of other people’s children by weapons of war.” We must not allow ourselves to be numbed by the daily killing of innocent men, women and children. This inhumanity must not be normalized nor forgotten.

Please watch ‘The Night Won’t End’: Biden’s War on Gaza (1 hr.18 min)  From air strikes to field executions, Fault Lines investigates the killings of civilians by the Israeli military in Gaza and the role of the United States in the war.

You are invited to join us every Friday at 10:00 am MT when the American Friends Service Committee hosts an Action Hour for a Ceasefire Now.  AFSC has been working with Palestinian refugees in Gaza and elsewhere since 1947. Whether you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim or atheist, this is the best way to learn and stand together with a community of people around the country who are dedicated to building a world beyond war.  Registration link to future action hours is here.  The agenda for the Oct. 4^th Action Hour follows.

AFSC’s main page on the Crisis in Gaza is here. The Action Hour Landing Page is here. 

This Action Hour is modeled on Jewish Voice For Peace’s daily power hours.
