SUMMARY:Anti-Semitism as a Smokescreen: Effects of Pseudo Anti-semitism on Women
DESCRIPTION:Under the guise of condemning anti-semitism\, the current U.S. presidential administration has weaponized and distorted the true meaning of antisemitic philosophy and actions. Countering anti-semitism has become a bullying tactic on U.S. college campuses and is being used as a means to discredit or demonize supporters of Palestinian rights. \nThis brand of anti-semitism has become a smokescreen for punishing institutions and activists and can be seen as “pseudo anti-semitism”\, a false interpretation and deliberate twisting of the concept used to confuse and further polarize the U.S. electorate.\n \nSpeakers will address how “pseudo anti-semitism” affects women in the U.S. and in Palestine\, contributing to the dangerous rhetoric of the ongoing war taking place there. \nAlice Rothchild\, MD is a retired obstetrician-gynecologist who worked in the health care reform and women’s movements for many years. She directed a documentary film Voices Across the Divide\, an oral history project sharing the stories of Palestinians\, which premiered at the Boston Palestine Film Festival\, 2013. \nSince 1997\, she has focused much of her energy on understanding the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from a progressive perspective. Her books on this topic include Condition Critical: Life and Death in Israel/Palestine\, Extraordinary Rendition: (American) Writers on Palestine\, On the Brink: Israel and Palestine on the Eve of the 2014 Gaza Invasion\, Shifting Sands: Jewish Women Confront the Israeli Occupation\, and Broken Promises\, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and Resilience. \nLubna Alzaroo\, PhD grew up in Hebron\, Palestine before moving to the U.S. for graduate school on a Fulbright Scholarship. Her upbringing in Palestine shaped her interest in Environmental Justice issues. She has master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Washington with a focus on the Environmental Humanities. Her research is on the representation of settler-colonial infrastructure\, and the environment in both U.S and Palestinian Literature. She is a lecturer in the Program on the Environment and the Comparative History of Ideas department at The University of Washington and also teaches Environmental Science at South Seattle College. Her courses focus on environmental justice and Settler Colonial Infrastructures. \nSponsored by the Women’s Health Subteam of Fund Healthcare Not Warfare\, MAPA Education Fund.  Register to attend.

SUMMARY:Standout: Hold Israel Accountable
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Nov 1\, noon \nPark Street Station\, Boston \ndate changed due to predicted weather \n \nHundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israel since the ceasefire agreement was signed. \nThe U.S. must demand that Israel obey the ceasefire immediately \nSeth Moulton\, who is running for Senate\, and our whole congressional delegation must wake up and support the Stop the Bombs legislation and cut off of military and diplomatic support for Israel. \nThe Mass. State legislature must divest the pension plan from the companies providing the weapons being used by Israel to violate the ceasefire. \nThe Famine continues in violation of the agreement. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to starve in violation of the Agreement’s demand that the U.N. and other organizations be allowed to end the famine. \nThe U.S. government and public demand Israel’s compliance with the agreement to end the famine. \nWe must punish Israel’s continued starvation of Palestinians by suspending all aid to Israel and passing the Stop the Bombs legislation.   Members of Congress including Seth Moulton must support the UNRWA Funding Restoration Act. \nThis rally will raise awareness that Israel is continuing the mass murder and starvation of Palestinians in violation of the Agreement they claim to be observing\, and to cut into the assumption that Trump’s agreement has ended the Gaza war and to call for Israel’s isolation as punishment for these violations \nSponsored by Arise & Resist\, MAPA\, Northshore for Palestine\, CD8 for Palestine\, Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine\, and Palestine South Shore Alliance. Additional cosponsors welcome.  Bring Palestine flags and wear keffiyehs.  Contact AriseResistCoalition@proton.me
