Gaza: On-Line Crisis Resource
Center & Action Plans
As of this writing, over 540 Palestinians – at least 30% unarmed civilians – have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza. Protests demanding an end to the attacks are ongoing, as are efforts to educate the public about the reasons for Israel’s assault and the underlying nature of the Israel-Palestine conflict. War Times calls your attention to two places where you can find up-to-date, accessible information and analyses, as well as suggestions about how you can raise your voice:

- A list of UN responses and statements on the tragedy.
- A list of credible media sources.
- A continuously updated resource on the numbers of killed and injured.
- An instructive link on contacting the media about the tragedy in Gaza.
- An instructive link on contacting elected representatives including President-elect Obama.
- A list of protests, rallies, and vigils taking place nationwide.
