In this webinar, we heard from speakers from across the Pacific about the potential impacts in the Pacific region of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza. We must find ways to push our governments to condemn the U.S. and Israel and to act for peace. A pall of acid rain hangs over Tehran following the bombing of oil storage facilities. Over 1000 people have now been killed in Iran and many, many more injured. Survivors will suffer long-term impacts from inhaling the fumes of burning oil. Some 400 people are dead and 1500 injured in Beirut, plus hundreds of thousands displaced yet again by Israeli forces air attacks and ground invasions. Gaza continues to be bombed with over 100,000 killed since October 2023, hundreds of thousands injured, and health services decimated.
