September 17, 2006 Save Darfur
The crisis for Darfur has been described as genocide, humanitarian crisis, and all-out war. No matter how one names the conflict in Darfur, one thing is clear- we must act to stop it. In the words of George W. Bush said, " Not on my Watch." This crisis cannot be allowed to escalate further. We will be joined by Rabbi Glaser from Temple Israel to discuss how rape, murder, and destruction have become commonplace in Darfur and what is being done to stop this cycle of violence.
