In  October 2009, Elliott Adams traveled to Gaza with Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility and Veterans For Peace. The delegation met with government officials, educational institutions, NGOs, student groups, cultural centers, medical institutions, and ordinary citizens to learn about Gaza. In his slide presentation Elliott considers both the complexity and tragedy of Gaza, considering such questions as: What is the lasting impact of the January attack and invasion by Israel and the implications of the 3-year-old blockade? What is the role of Hamas?  Is there any possible solution to this political powder keg in the Middle East? How might we find a lasting peace? Is our 3 billion dollars a year in military aid to Israel helpful to creating peace? What is our responsibility as American citizens and taxpayers? Please join us this evening for an important presentation and discussion about Gaza. 

 Paz, John
