San Carlos, CA (Special to ZennieReport.com) — Hundreds of people are holding a “No Gala for Genocide” mass rally outside the Friends of the Israeli Defense Force 75th anniversary gala in San Carlos on Sunday, calling out the supporters of a military that is committing war crimes, atrocities, and genocide across Gaza and the West Bank.

Jewish-Led Action In Coalition With Palestinians, Arabs, Others To Stop The Wars

This mass rally is a Jewish-led action in coalition with Palestinians, Arabs, and other allies saying “Never Again for Anyone” — no galas for genocide, no funds to war criminals, ceasefire now. Several children of Holocaust survivors will speak against the genocide in Gaza.

Israel’s air force has dropped more than 18,000 tons of ordnance on Gaza in the last four weeks — 1.5 times more explosives than were dropped on Hiroshima. Israel’s barrage has destroyed schools, mosques, hospitals, and homes, killing more than 9,000 Palestinians, including hundreds at the Jabaliya refugee camp this week. More than 40 percent of those killed in Gaza are children. 

At the same time, the IDF is arming and protecting settlers in the West Bank as they kill Palestinians, bulldoze their homes, and take their land. Settler violence against Palestinians is the highest in years, and more than 115 have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank these four weeks.

The Friends of the IDF Gala Is $500 A Ticket

The Friends of the IDF gala — which costs $500 a ticket — is directly fundraising to perpetuate this genocide. They are sending thousands of dollars to a military whose leaders have explicitly called for the wholesale destruction of Gaza and who have drawn up plans to evacuate the entire population out of the enclave, so Israel can annex it once and for all.

This is ethnic cleansing. We are standing together to say the IDF is not welcome in the Bay Area.

What Is Jewish Voice For Peace?

Jewish Voice for Peace is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world. We’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle, guided by a vision of justice, equality, and dignity for all people.

The International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network is an international network of Jews who are uncompromisingly committed to struggles for human survival and emancipation, of which the liberation of the Palestinian people and land is an indispensable part.

It is committed to the right of return for Palestinian refugees and to ending Israeli colonization of historic Palestine, which is reinforced by US economic and military power. It supports full Palestinian self-determination and the right to resist occupation. It looks to the Palestinian grassroots and Palestinian-led organizations as its primary points of reference in this struggle.
