The Israeli Genocide of Gaza; featuring Prof. Sami Al-Arian
On December 5 at 12 pm noon EST, Professor Sami Al-Arian joins The Community Church of Boston by Zoom, from the Middle East, to offer an analysis of the ongoing ethnic cleansing that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people, which is being enabled by the US. Prof Al-Arian will provide geopolitical analysis about Israel and the US and respond to Q&A.
Sami Al-Arian's parents were forced to leave their homes in the 1948 Nakba (the creation of Israel) and became refugees in Gaza. After becoming a university professor in the US, Prof. Al-Arian's successful organizing for Palestinians and Muslims made him a target of the US government in the post September 11 era. After imprisonment and a sham "trial", Prof. Al-Arian agreed to be deported to Turkey, to save his family the cost and stress of continuing to fight the US federal government in court. Prof. Al-Arian was honored with Community Church's annual Sacco & Vanzetti award in 2022.
