Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Activists Mark Anniversary of Gaza Invasion

HeadlineDec 28, 2009

On Sunday, dozens of Israeli peace activists held a demonstration in southern Israel near the border with Gaza to mark the first anniversary of the Israeli assault on Gaza.

Israeli peace activist Hadar Geyevski: “We came here one year after the war in Gaza, the war in which 1,400 citizens of Gaza died, were killed by the Israeli military forces. We came here to protest the ongoing siege on Gaza, has been going on for years and years now. Israel controls the entrances to Gaza. It controls. It decides when and where, how much food will go to Gaza. ”
