“Gaza Frontline” Press Conference live streaming

This week we’ll be pausing the usual weekly meditation to stream live coverage of the Frontline Gaza London event at the Frontline Club, London, organised by Palestine Deep Dive and Double Down News.

An important note: We at 101 Social choose to have no affiliation with any political party, religion or ideology, in particular. However, Palestine’s excruciating history under the Israeli regime cannot humanly be tolerated, and we believe this must transcend personal opinions. We hope this live streaming will inspire a productive discussion and everybody’s welcome to bring their own voice, no matter the side.

“Against Israel’s attempted erasure of the Palestinian people, Palestine Deep Dive and Double Down News proudly centre the voices and perspectives of four Palestinians who have all grown up under Israel’s siege of Gaza in this urgent event.

Right now, as their families remain under blockade and bombardment, it has never been more pressing to hear Palestinians present both the facts on the ground in their own words and what must be done to end this ongoing crisis once and for all.
