On Monday October 16, as Israel prepared to invade Gaza, more than 100 peace activists gathered at the Federal O’Brien building in downtown Albany to call for an immediate ceasefire and a release of all hostages. We hear from Rev. John Paarlberg of the NYS Council of Churches; Rabbi Dovid Freeman of Jews United Against Zionism; Keren Carmeli of Jewish Voices for Peace and an Israeli citizen; Tom Ellis of the Palestinian Rights Committee; and former Daily Gazette journalist Carl Strock.
