The United States Government is Funding Apartheid, Oppression & Genocide!
Between Friday August 5th and Sunday August 7th, 46 Palestinians, including 16 children, were murdered in cold blood by Israel's occupation forces and over 350 Palestinians were wounded in air strikes throughout Gaza, Palestine. This inhumane and violent aggression comes as the zionist-imposed and U.S.-backed siege and blockade of Gaza enters its 16th year.
Every single bomb dropped on Gaza is enabled by the U.S. government and funded by our taxes to the tune of $4 billion a year, or $10 million a day in U.S. military aid to Israel. As elected officials across the country attempt to expand ties with Israel and whitewash the genocide of the Palestinian people, undermine the Palestinian right to resist and silence the movement for Palestine, we declare today that Boston stands with Gaza and with the struggle for Palestinian liberation and return.
Today we gathered in Boston's Copley Square at the library steps to condemn the latest Israeli aggression against the people of Palestine and to honor the glory of the martyrs of Gaza.
We gather to defend the right of Palestinians as colonized people to resist the Israeli occupation by any means necessary.
We have a responsibility as people living in the United States to resist the violence of the U.S. empire at home and abroad. As Internationalists, we believe that all people have the right to self-determination, and we stand in solidarity with all national liberation struggles across the globe resisting U.S. imperialism.
We uphold the right of all Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland in all of historic Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. This requires that we stand against the entirety of the zionist settler-colonial project and for the national liberation of all of Palestine so that those in exile can return to live in freedom and dignity.
GLORY TO THE MARTYRS OF GAZA, PALESTINE. Aug 5th -7th, 2022 / المجد لأحباب غزة ، فلسطين

Speech by Dr. Wesam Amer, Gaza University, Fulbright scholar and visiting researcher at Harvard University's Center for Middle East Studies
"As a Palestinian born in Gaza where my parents were forced to immigrate in 1948 during the catastrophe, the Nakba, I would thank you so much for organizing this meeting and give me an opportunity to share experiences that I have been passing through out many stations in my life.
The war, last week, was not the first Israeli aggression against Palestinians in their homes.
This Israeli latest aggression started with killing and arresting political leaders in the West Bank.
Then it moved to Gaza. Israel killed 46 people including 16 children and 3 women, Israel injured over 360 and demolished many houses, where innocent civilians live.
Yes, this most recent assault on Gaza seems to be over. But the military blockade that Israel imposed on us 15 years ago remains in place. Two million Palestinians live through this blockade every day – with electricity, fuel and other basic goods rationed by the Israeli government that occupies us.
In Gaza, since 2007, we have lived through four major wars before this last one, wars of collective punishment that have claimed thousands of lives and razed our neighborhoods again and again.
As besieged people, we deserve the world’s attention even when Israeli jets aren’t raining bombs on us. What we call on the international community is very clear:
- Israeli aggressions must end.
- Israeli blockade of Gaza must end.
- Israeli colonial policy and settlement expansions must end.
- International law must be applied.
Like clockwork, Twitter, Meta & other platforms are censoring the voices of Palestinians sharing the stories & images of their communities under attack in Gaza. Whether shadow bans or outright suspension, it’s harmful, unjust, and needs to stop
You being here that matter the most, your power, activism, engagement, support, actions give us, the Palestinians, the hope and the energy, the aspiration and inspiration that the Israeli siege of Gaza will end at the end and will help Palestine be free."
