On today’s show, we’re joined by organizers Wassim Hage of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, and Rami Ibrahim of Palestinian Youth Movement to discuss the various direct actions locals have taken in protest of Israel’s expanding war in the Middle East.

We’re also joined by Cheryl Rivera, a Brooklyn- based writer and editor of Lux Magazine who works on the New York War Crimes project.

Two of the three officers involved in the killing of Mario Gonzalez recently had their manslaughter charges dropped on a technicality. Judge Scott Patton ruled on Monday that the District Attorney failed to file arrest warrants against the two officers, James Fisher and Cameron Leahy, within the three-year statute of limitations.

Jerry Gonzalez, brother of Mario Gonzalez and Edith Arenales, mother of Mario Gonzalez join us to speak about the case against the third officer, Eric McKinley. The next hearing is set to take place tomorrow.

Gonzalez’s family and supporters are packing the court and rallying outside the Alameda County Superior Courthouse tomorrow—Friday, October 11 at 8 AM, 661 Washington St, Oakland, CA 94607.
