GAZA’S GRAVEDIGGERS | A Busboys and Poets Books Presentation

Wed, Nov 11 · 6:00 PM Busboys and Poets - 14th & V · U Street Corridor

Join us to systematically dissect and dismantle the most influential arguments defending Israel’s actions. Methodically debunking the claims of its apologists, Norman Finkelstein has for decades laid bare the cynical politics behind Israel’s high-tech killing sprees in Gaza.

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening. So I built this to do that watching for me — real, confirmed events pulled from hundreds of sources, sorted so you can find your night instead of hunting for it.
