As the world dances around the G-word when it comes to the conflict between the Israeli government and Hamas (reports settle on “genocidal acts” committed under the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), local bands continue playing concerts benefiting those under siege in Gaza.

This Pinellas ‘Gaza Rising’ gig features rock, pop and Americana bands raising money for Palestinians and also protesters arrested at the Tampa campus of the University of South Florida.

Tickets for Gaza Rising on Saturday, July 27 at UU Church of St. Petersburg are $20.
