*Changing perspectives of the Jewish left and progressive community on
issues of Israel and Palestine*

*Webinar on Monday, May 27: 9-10:30 pm*
*sponsored by CCDS Socialist Education Project*

The panel will explore the changing response of the US Jewish community to
the Israeli occupation and repression of the Palestinian people.  Jewish
opinion has evolved from largely supporting Israel to a majority of youth
now questioning its policies and engaging in a discussion on Zionism.  Many
activists and leaders in the struggle for Palestinian rights are Jewish.
The conversation will highlight the recent charges of "anti-Semitism"
leveled against critics of Israeli policies such as Congresswoman Ilhan
Omar and Angela Davis, and divisions within the Democratic Party.

member of CCDS and on the National Coordinating Committee. Ira is a

rights.

Peace..  Rebecca Vilkomerson is also a contributing writer to the anthology
