7pm: What Will It Take to End Israeli Apartheid?
Portland State University, Smith Memorial Student Union Room 296/8
All around the world people reacted with furious protests after Israeli commandos carried out an assault on a flotilla of boats carrying humanitarian aid and solidarity activists to the besieged Gaza Strip. In a historic moment for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement, nearly 1,000 activists picketed at the Port of Oakland and successfully stopped an Israeli Zim line ship from being unloaded for 24 hours. In an effort to mitigate the global outrage that followed its attack on the Gaza aid flotilla, Israel has (ever so slightly) eased its blockade on Gaza. While now permitting some consumer goods to enter Gaza, Israel continues to block chemicals, medical instruments, construction tools, aluminum, steel and cement, making it impossible to rebuild the homes, schools, hospitals, offices and factories destroyed by Israel in Operation Cast Lead of 2008-2009. What does this new phase of struggle mean? THURS August 26th- 7pm

International March for Peace! End the Occupations!
"In Russia, in China, and here... very mediocre people
Antiwar and Anti-Occupation March and Rally
Instead of cutting needed funds for education and social services, we should reconsider much of our trillion dollarmilitary budget and establish a Department of Peace!
It is time for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan. Most thinking people are
opposed to the US spending $3 billion a year to help fund a siege of Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank.
We are sick and tired of military threats against Iran and the criminal CIA drone attacks on Pakistan.
So, we are organizing. Whether you are an experienced activist or new to the antiwar movement, it is past time
for a multinational antiwar march on Saturday, October 9th commemorating the 9th anniversary of the Afghanistan war.
End the Occupations! Secure the Peace we all seek! Send a message to our leaders.
