The current blockade and bombing of Gaza by Israel has lead to the starvation of the population and many deaths. Electricity shortages mean that hospitals are not functioning and all boarders being closed by Israel are preventing food, aid and medical supplies reaching the people of Gaza. On top of this innocent people have been killed in air strikes by Israeli jets on Gaza.
We will be hearing the latest on the siege from journalist Simon Assaf. We will also discuss the prospects for peace and the case for a one state solution. Everyone is welcome to contribute or simply observe.
Simon Assaf is a journalist and political activist. His latest article on Gaza is posted below.
