GAZA: Why Hasn't the Bloodshed Stopped? What's the Endgame?
What is the world doing about Gaza? Israel’s military has killed more than 67,183 Palestinians directly (a vast undercount—Dr. B will explain) and injured over 169,841. Why have at least 461 Palestinians in Gaza starved to death? (Stats from OCHA, Oct 9, 2025.)
Why have Amnesty International, HRW, B’Tselem (Israel’s leading human rights organization), the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and other experts determined that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza? Why did ten new European states recognize Palestine in September 2025? There are now 157 UN member states that recognize Palestine, representing 81% of the world. What impact could these recognitions have? Will the latest ceasefire hold?
What does the latest polling reveal about Palestinians’ and Israelis’ hopes for the future? Dr. Elizabeth Brownson, Associate Professor of History, will address these topics, the crucial historical context, and any questions that you have! Additionally there will be FREE PIZZA!
