A daily series of 20-minute talks
Eyes on Gaza
Mondays and Thursday 2 to 2:20pm
The “Eyes on Gaza” lecture series began in June 2025, when the Israeli government launched another war – this time against Iran – that sent us into shelters, scared and desperate, and diverted our attention from the horror unfolding in Gaza. While we sat at home, we insisted on keeping our eyes on Gaza. Even now, we still insist on keeping our eyes on the destruction, devastation, starvation, displacement, and expulsion that Israel is wreaking at this very moment. We meet every day on Zoom to hear about what has happened and what continues to happen in Gaza, to find ways to think and resist, and to refuse to accept in silence the crimes being committed in our name.
