Join the Online Film Salon abut Gaza Flotilla
Join an online Film Salon Sunday, August 16, at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT, about the premiere screening of the documentary “Rock the Boat: Anatomy of a Non-Violent Action.” Register here (ow.ly/ZbLF50AUBWY) for the event, then watch the film at your convenience, and finally join the Zoom discussion. Filmmaker Kathy Sheetz Greaves and Palestinian-American attorney and co-founder of International Solidarity Movement Huwaida Arraf will participate in the Q&A discussion. Fifty years after the Freedom Rides of the Civil Rights era, 44 citizens from 17 nations sailed across the Mediterranean Sea to shine a light on the illegal blockade and ongoing occupation of 1.5 million people of Gaza in 2008. But will they safely arrive? Voices from the Holy Land Film Series, in conjunction with Richmonders for Peace in Israel-Palestine, host the event.

This discussion revolves around a film about the first boat that sought to break the Israeli military siege of Gaza from the sea. The moderators/speakers who will engage the audience in a question and answer session are the filmmaker Kathy Elliott and the noted Palestinian-American activist Huwaida...."Untether yourself from the engines of busyness,
one by one—
laptop, desktop, wristwatch, scribbled lists,
even the telephone,
especially the one you carry everywhere,
the little tyrant.
This will all feel unnatural
but it’s not. . . .
Instead, consider your life—
who you love, and why,
how lucky you are to be here, resting
under a shower of birdsong,
or what strange bright luck it is to be the owner,
for a few years, of this beating heart,
these wondering eyes, the ears
into which the kingfisher spills her small chuckle as
she dips across the water. . . ."

www.indystar.com
Without paid leave, families will continue to suffer, and gender and racial inequality will persist, Andre Carson writes.Alec Ryrie:
“By the early twentieth century, Christianity’s only undisputed role in Western society, its raison d’être, was to define morality. This is precisely what it failed to do in the Second World War, the modern era’s most intense moral test. It failed not only in the sense that many churches and Christians were to a degree complicit with Nazism and fascism, but in the wider sense that the global crisis revealed that Christianity’s moral priorities were wrong. It now seemed plain that cruelty, discrimination, and murder were evil in a way that fornication, blasphemy, and impiety were not.”
