Program: The Gaza Blockade and the Attack on the Aid Flotilla
Tuesday, June 22, 6:30 pm
Wilmar Neighborhood Center, 953 Jenifer Street, Madison [Map]
Sponsored by Madison Area Peace Coalition |
Program:
(1) Presentation by Jennifer Loewenstein on the current situation in Gaza under the Israeli blockade, what is now known about the May 31st Israeli attack on and hijacking of the ships, and the campaign to compel Israel to agree to a UN investigation.
(2) Questions and comments by the audience directed either to Jennifer or to the meeting in general.
(3) Audience responses to some questions posed by Spanish journalist and politician Pilar Rahola. These are rhetorical questions apparently distilled from a speech Ms. Rahola gave at a “Global Forum” in Barcelona on “Combating Antisemitism in Spain” where she vigorously defended Israel and Zionism against allegedly unfair attacks by others in the European left. Her comments are posted on the English-language website Israelseen.com and have been widely circulated by Israel’s defenders worldwide including in the U.S.
