The Israeli Genocide of Gaza featuring Prof. Sami Al-Arian

Follow us on X: The Community Church of Boston: A Peace and Justice Congregation Since 1920: Professor Sami Al-Arian joins us to offer an analysis of the ongoing ethnic cleansing that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people with the support of the US. Sami Al-Arian’s parents were forced to leave their homes in the 1948 Nakba (the creation of Israel) and became refugees in Gaza. After becoming a university professor in the US, Prof. Al-Arian’s successful organizing for Palestinians and Muslims made him a target of the US government in the post September 11 era. After imprisonment and a sham “trial“, Prof. Al-Arian agreed to be deported to Turkey, to save his family the cost and stress of continuing to fight the US federal government in court. Prof. Al-Arian was honored with Community Church’s annual Sacco & Vanzetti award in 2022.
