The situation in Gaza is more than catastrophic as Israel’s genocidal attacks continue. We hope the start of South Africa’s case in the International Court of Justice today will add to the building international pressure to stop Israel’s attacks and lift the brutal siege.
We urge you to watch the powerful testimonies building a case that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and to join some of the Bay Area actions for Palestine this weekend or the National March on Washington for Gaza on January 13 (see below).
We also wanted to share this new video from MECA’s team in Gaza. Wafaa El-Derawi shares some of the challenges we face, the work we are still doing with your support, and the need for international solidarity with Palestinians now more than ever.
In solidarity,
All of us at MECA
