I just noticed that a couple of my Facebook "friends" were attending the event:
I WILL DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE SLAUGHTER IN GAZA!!!
and I wondered what could one do to stop the slaughter.
So, I looked into ActionPalestine.org who created and administer the event.
Action Palestine is a U.K student group, and on their website they list the ways one can stop the slaughter. Writing to your representative, attending events (or as they put it, "demonstrations/vigils/stunts/actions")
I don't like people dying. I don't like people being slaughtered. And I think it's good that certain people take certain kinds of action--- demonstrating, for example
But I'm skeptical of the following phrase in the Facebook Event description:
"It is everyone's duty to do something to stop this"

Facebook is also mobilizing to stop genital mutilation.
Not to take any of this lightly, but Facebook isn't likely to stop anything.
The people whose duty it truly is need to start their own group.
