Gaza Humanitarian Fundraising Event – September 15

A Revolutionary Love Centered

CONCERT FOR GAZA

A Benefit Concert for Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

Sept 15, 2024
7:30-9:30pm
Wild Days Rooftop at the Eaton Hotel
1201 K St. NW DC

Based in the Revolutionary Love ethic, reclaiming love as a force for justice, healing and collective liberation, this event welcomes people of all backgrounds — especially from across the spectrum of peace and justice efforts in DC — to come together to raise funds for the people of Gaza, call for a ceasefire and hostage/prisoner agreement, and build beloved community.

100% of proceeds benefit charities directly serving Gazans: The Saif Foundation, Heal Foundation and the Delia Arts Foundation. If you’re not in DC but would still like to support this effort, we invite you to make a tax-deductible donation through the event page.

Public Talk with ENCORE Learning, in association with GMU and Arlington Public Library

https://encorelearning.asapconnected.com/#CourseID=302568

Monday, August 12, 2024, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time

I will join the ENCORE Lifelong Learning team to discuss my recently published book, A Jew in Gaza: Humanitarian Assistance, Hubris and Horrors, a narrative/memoir discussing the two years lived in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories leading up to, during and after the 2023 Oct 7 attack.

I will share insights about the realities and paradoxes of Gaza and how America struggled to provide humanitarian assistance in the face of conflict and the dangers to innocent civilians. Don’t look for a partisan or ideological polemic here. In my book, I highlight the frequent pattern of violation of international humanitarian law by Israel, as well as the corruption and dangers from Hamas, the Palestinian National Authority, and other extremist groups. My story highlights the Gordian Knot nature of Gaza, the Palestinians and Israel.

This is an Encore Learning Presents event, cosponsored by the Arlington Public Library.

Connect to the presentation online via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84268052749

Books still discounted

My two books, the new A JEW IN GAZA and the recently revised and updated ANDEAN ADVENTURES are both on sale at $5.88 for the ebook editions. If you've been thinking about checking them out, now is a great time.

There are available at Amazon and many other booksellers, including Google Play most recently.

I'm still waiting to hear and follow up with several brick and mortar booksellers, but hopefully that will come about soon.

Goodreads Giveaway

For all those who expressed interest in A JEW IN GAZA but were unsuccessful in the first giveaway, I hope you will try the current one which ends soon, or go to Amazon or your favorite bookseller. And if you go read it, I hope you will also post a review here as well as on Amazon.

Your review and comments matter, PARTICULARLY because Amazon is crudely blocking advertising on the book at this moment.

Thanks again! Alonzo

Remembering the fallen in Gaza

At the Friends of Standing Together Peace Vigil outside the White House Sunday July 7, 2024 Alonzo spoke about innocent Gazans he knew who lost their lives and spoke with NBC Washington and VOA. He called for an end to the fighting and a definitive political solution to end all wars and allow for an independent Palestinian State alongside Israel.
