Stop Starving Gaza Rally

For three months, the Israeli government has blocked all aid to Gaza, starving the over 2 million Palestinians trapped there. Now they are carrying out a vicious air assault and full scale ground invasion that has killed hundreds and displaced tens of thousands in a matter of days. When minimal aid was allowed in, Netanyahu admitted it was only for appearances’ sake, promising that the Israeli military would take control of the entire territory.

Join Jewish Voice for Peace and allies this Saturday, May 31, in front of Union Station to say “STOP STARVING GAZA.” We will be joined by our Palestinian siblings and allies to break our first 24 hour solidarity fast with a Havdalah ritual.

We invite our neighbors and fellow Coloradans to fast for Gaza from Shabbat to Havdalah (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday), until adequate humanitarian aid reaches all Palestinians in Gaza.

This is not a religious observance, but rather a symbolic timeframe for a 24 hour fast. Please share with friends and family as we are all trying to spread the word and bring attention to the fact that Palestinians, many of whom are infants and children, are starving to death while simultaneously being brutally attacked and murdered with US weapons paid for by our tax dollars. Forced starvation is a weapon of genocide and we will not stand silently by.

Free Palestine!
