Following our tradition of speaking against an unjust war, we are encouraging our members to condemn Israel's assault on Gaza. As of today there are over 1,100 deaths including non-combatants and children and over 5,000 wounded.
We are joining the voice of all human rights groups including the American Friends Service, Jewish Voice for Peace, Pax Christi, Human Rights Watch and many more who are calling for an end to the bombing and occupation of Gaza. United Nations (UNWRA) is asking for an investigation into war crimes.
In Congress earlier this month just four Congressman led by Dennis Kucinich had the courage to vote against HR34 a resolution that called for an "immediate and unconditional ceasefire" and "unrestricted humanitarian access" to Gaza. Our representative, Tim Bishop was not one of them.
Call Rep. Bishop and let him know that we are opposed to the slaughter of innocents in Gaza as well as the ongoing military aid that makes us complicit in Israel's slaughter of the people of Gaza.

There comes a time when silence is betrayal. Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King Jr. Events on the East End Upadated
Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that.
Hate multiplies hate,
violence multiplies violence,
and toughness multiplies toughness
in a descending spiral of destruction.
The chain reaction of evil --
hate begetting hate,wars producing more wars --
must be broken, or we shall be plunged
into the darkness of annihilation.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968

Let’s be crystal clear. Israel’s massive attacks on Gaza today have one overarching goal: conflict management.

We can help in Gaza - Message from East Enders
We east end residents want to declare our dismay at the failure of the new Congress and our congressional representative, Tim Bishop to heed the call for a ceasefire and to advocate for a just peace between Israel and occupied Palestine.
Instead Congress declared that only Israel has a right to defend itself. Don't Palestinians have human rights? They are certainly defenseless. Israel is using billions in US military aid to produce thousands of civilian casualties including more victims of rocket attacks in Israel.
And the carnage continues.
But those of us who feel that the moral compass of our nation is broken still have a job to do.
The US-based Middle East Children's Alliance, working with Gaza-based Dr. Mona El Farra has purchased medicines and is attempting to get a large shipment delivered via Israel and Egypt. We can donate to a fund to provide more help without taking political sides.

East End Ink - Thursday January 15 at 12 Noon
The installment of East End Ink scheduled for today has been postponed so we can respond to the urgent situation in the Middle East.
Tune in on Thursday, February 19 to hear Bob Zellner read from his memoir of the 1960's civil rights struggle "The Wrong Side of Murder Creek, A White Southerner in the Freedom Movement".
Today we present a reading from We Begin Here: Poems for Palestine and Lebanon. We Begin Here was edited by France-based writer Kamal Boullata and East Ender Kathy Engel, a poet, teacher, activist and a Founding Advisor of the Middle East Children's Alliance.
We highlight MECA's work to bring relief to the civilian population of Gaza.
'We Begin Here" was published by Interlink Books. This reading was recorded in June of 2007 at Canio's Books in Sag Harbor, New York.
The program can be downloaded from EastEndInk
