Writers Against the War On Gaza (WAWOG)

Community Reading

HARLEM: Join us on Wednesday, September 24th at 7:30pm for a reading of The Disorientation Edition of the New York War Crimes. Published in collaboration with the editors of The Written Resistance (@thewrittenresistance) a quarterly newsletter by National Students for Justice in Palestine (@nationalsjp) this issue focuses on Israel’s war on education, a fight as old as the Zionist entity itself. We’ll read Qasam al-Haj’s writing about how Palestinians in Zionist prisons seize their right to education by rebelling against the colonial system that seeks to subjugate them along with a dispatch from a student from Bureij refugee camp writes to her teacher from Baghdad who witnesses yet another another imperial aggression in Gaza along with Kwame Ture’s address at the Convention of the Organization of Arab Students in the U.S. and Canada from 1968: “The United States is the greatest de-humanizer in the world. It dehumanizes everywhere it goes, and Israel is nothing but a finger of the United States of America. It dehumanizes all over the world. Our fight today is a fight for humanity. It is not just a fight to change systems, it is a fight for our very humanity, our freedom to live, to have the type of culture and language we desire, and to live and function and enjoy the wealth of the earth. That is our fight. We are fighting for our humanity. We must be on the forces of those who fight for humanity.” Address: Mushtari Cafe, 34 W 126th St, New York. *PLEASE NOTE: Entrance is on the 126TH STREET SIDE, not the usual entrance on 125th Date: Wednesday, September 24th at 7:30pm Admission is free, and we will have posters and other printed materials for sale
