info at popularresistance.org and we will post it.*

*TAKE ACTION:*

(202) 647-4000 and demand condemnation of the Israeli assault on Gaza.

*Washington, DC on July 11:* Bring pots, pans, drums, musical 
instruments, and whistles to make as much noise as possible! Join us as 
we rally in front of the Israeli Embassy (3514 International Dr NW, 
Washington, DC 20008) on Friday, July 11th at 3:00pm to call for an end 
to the recent bombing campaign of Gaza along with an end to the ongoing 
siege of Gaza. We also demand an end to Israel's raids, killings, 
beatings, and arrests in West Bank. We must act to stop this escalation 
before it continues any further and more lives are lost.

Since June 12th, Israel has engaged in a brutal campaign of collective 
punishment against the Palestinian people, bombing Gaza and raiding West 
Bank towns and villages, arresting hundreds of civilians, including 
children across the West Bank and 1948 Palestine.

This past week we have witnessed the brutal deaths and beatings of 
dozens of Palestinians at the hands of both Israeli forces and Israeli 
settlers. This includes the horrific death of 15 year-old Muhammad Abu 
Khdeir, who was kidnapped, tortured, burned alive, and tossed in a field 
in an unbelievable act of savagery by Israeli settlers.

Israel also began intensifying its bombing of Gaza in the most serious 
flare-up in the territory since November 2012. Israel has deemed their 
latest attacks "Operation Protective Edge", and in ways that are 
horrifyingly reminiscent of the 2009 and 2012 attacks, they have called 
up 1,500 reservists in the Israeli military.

Across Palestine, this wave of violence has also been met with a wave of 
protest and action. Palestinians are rising up and responding across all 
of historic Palestine including the West Bank, Gaza, and 1948 Palestine.

It's time to stop the killing now! Join us at the Embassy!!

Protest cosponsors include CODEPINK and American-Arab 
Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). Email Ben at codepink.org if you want
