On January 29, 2008 a spirited protest took place in front of a North Side Chicago theater that was hosting a benefit for the "young leadership of the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces". The IDF has blocked humanitarian supplies going into to Gaza, which has been put under siege by the Israeli government. This type of collective punishment is a war crime. The action was endorsed by a number of organizations, including International Solidarity Movement, ANSWER-Chicago, Palestinian Solidarity Group, ISO, and others. Produced by Labor Beat.
