As we approach the six-month anniversary of Israel’s assault on Gaza, more than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed (mostly women and children), more than 80,000 injured, and more than a million people under the threat of imminent famine. As the humanitarian catastrophe worsens, what are the prospects for a ceasefire, how have the past six months impacted the struggle for Palestinian rights and freedoms, and what shape pro-Palestinian activism in the U.S. should take in the next few months? Our speaker, Dr. Norman Finkelstein will respond to these questions and more.

He is the author of many books that have been translated into 60 foreign editions, including THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY: Reflections on the exploitation of Jewish suffering, GAZA: An inquest into its martyrdom, and most recently, I ACCUSE!
