Palestine Solidarity Information, Analysis, Local Actions and Events for the week of January 9th

It has become clear that the Israeli government will continue their assault on Gaza and the West Bank. The retaliation for the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel, has escalated, therefore, GRIID will be providing weekly links to information and analysis that we think can better inform us of what is happening, along with the role that the US government is playing. We will also provide information on local events and actions that people can get involved in. Lastly, it is important to note that this is one of most important and urgent human rights issues that those of us in the US can impact. Get informed and take action!
