P. 1 “Ceasefire Now!” 
“Beginning on page 5, this issue of The Nuclear Resister continues the day-by-day reports of ceasefire arrests in the U.S. and Canada.   From last October through mid-June, The Nuclear Resister has tallied more than 8,800 arrests on over 350 occasions across more than 125 cities and towns in 36 states and 5 provinces. . . .More than 3,400 of the arrests noted here took place on the campus of at least 70 colleges and universities.  MORE

 Dear Dick, 

Here is one more attempt to interfere with Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S.  We are joining Win Without War in urging Congress to withdraw the invitation to Prime Minister Netanyahu to visit Washington DC and thus legitimize policies that have led to unprecedented suffering and loss of life in Gaza. 

Netanyahu is scheduled to appear before Congress on July 24, just 2 days from today! 

Please click here to send a letter directly to your member of Congress demanding they boycott Netanyahu’s visit.    Here is the link again: https://act.winwithoutwar.org/sign/rescind-invite/

Thank you for doing your part,  Israel/Palestine Working Group.  Beyt Tikkun, 2342 Shattuck Ave., STE 1200, Berkeley, CA 94704, USA

What Can You Do to Ameliorate or Stop the Israeli (US) War against the Palestinians?
In addition to direct connection to Israelis or Palestinians, or contacting your Congressional representatives, the best action is to support established organizations.  It takes just minutes to google for information and addresses.  (These entries were randomly collected before the war openly resumed; if you can correct, add, or subtract any items, contact me.  I am looking for a comprehensive published report.)
