Breaking the Siege of Gaza and Challenging the Israeli Lobby’s Stranglehold on U.S. Policy!

Second Freedom Flotilla begins its voyage to Gaza with two Massachusetts peace activists on board!

Hear from Ridgely Fuller and Paki Wieland about their imminent voyage on the “Audacity of Hope” to break the siege of Gaza. And Daniela Loffreda from Italy, a good friend of Vic Arrigoni, the longtime Italian human rights activist recently murdered in Gaza and in whose spirit “stay human” the Flotilla sails.

In addition, we will have a report of the tumultuous events in DC during the recent Move Over AIPAC Conference: Marty Federman, Rick Colbath-Hess, Ellen Graves, Priscilla Lynch and Sarah Roche-Mahdi will share their highlights or lowlights.

There will also be short Power Points of great street theater in DC outside the AIPAC conference and of conditions in GAZA.

The Fever Chart – Three Visions of the Middle East is a unique combination of lyrical theatricality and political passion, presented by Underground Railway Theater.  Three visions: An Israeli soldier’s encounter with a mysterious Palestinian woman in the Rafah Zoo; A Palestinian father’s revelation to a young Israeli woman of their shared history; A bookish Iraqi bird collector’s tale of his conscription into Saddam’s army.

Directed by Elena Araoz, with a cross-cultural cast featuring local favorite Ken Baltin and Najla Said, daughter of author/activist Edward Said, The Fever Chart: Three Visions of the Middle East reaches out like prophecy, challenging us to envision peace during the holiday season.
