[Fuusmchat] FW: Information on how to help Gaza that may be relevant

[Annie Warmke]

Since no action can be taken by Congress in its current state (and 
writing to your representative or senator has almost no chance of having 
any reaction at all), I would suggest that contacting the Israeli and 
Palestinian offices in the US would have more impact.  They need to know 
how people feel about what has been instigated and the response to it.  
Innocent people should not be collateral damage.

Palestinian Contact (there is no embassy because they are not recognized 
as a country):
