SUMMARY:Beyond the Two State Solution: Book Talk and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Kuttab’s new book is a short introduction to the crisis in Palestine-Israel\, which has been characterized by the competing visions of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. While many thought the two-state solution would offer a resolution\, Jonathan explains that the two-state solution (that he supported) is no longer viable. He suggests that any solution be predicated on the basic existential needs of the two parties\, which he lays out in exceptional detail. He formulates a way forward for a one-state solution that challenges both Zionism and Palestinian nationalism. This book invites readers to begin a new conversation based on reality: two peoples will need to live together in some sort of unified state. It is balanced and accessible to neophytes and to experts alike. \nZoom Registration

SUMMARY:P&P Live!: Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick — Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 19\, 2021 – 6 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be streamed online as part of our P&P Live! Series. \nA bold call for the American Left to extend their politics to the issues of Israel-Palestine\, from a New York Times bestselling author and experts on U.S. policy in the region. \nHill and Plitnick provide a timely and essential intervention by examining multiple dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conversation\, including Israel’s growing disdain for democracy\, the effects of occupation on Palestine\, the siege of Gaza\, diminishing American funding for Palestinian relief\, and the campaign to stigmatize any critique of Israeli occupation. Except for Palestine is a searing polemic and a cri de coeur for elected officials\, activists\, and everyday citizens alike to align their beliefs and politics with their values. \nMARC LAMONT HILL is an award-winning journalist and the Steve Charles Professor of Media\, Cities\, and Solutions at Temple University. He is the author of multiple books\, including the New York Times bestselling Nobody\, and co-author (with Mitchell Plitnick) of Except for Palestine (The New Press). His newest book\, We Still Here: Pandemic\, Policing\, Protest\, and Possibility is a timely intervention into the popular movement for police abolition. He’s featured speaking for The Root here. \nMITCHELL PLITNICK\, the president of ReThinking Foreign Policy\, is a political analyst and a frequent writer on the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy. His past roles include vice president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace\, director of the U.S. Office of B’Tselem\, and co-director of Jewish Voice for Peace.

SUMMARY:Movie: Jenin\, Jenin - Live Stream
DESCRIPTION:To register for this event please click here. \nTo view the film trailer please click here. \nThe screening of the film will be followed by Q&A discussion with film Director Mohammad Bakri. \nAbout the Film \nMuhammad Bakri’s film “Jenin\, Jenin” caused a storm in Israel and even made it to the Supreme Court (which made a decision banning its release). \nThe film deals with the events of Jenin in April 2002\, when the Israeli Army invaded the West Bank town and the refugee camp as part of the so-called “Operation Defensive Shield.” \nPalestinians as well as human rights groups accuse Israel of war crimes committed during the siege and invasion of the Palestinian refugee camp in April 2002. “Jenin Jenin” demonstrates the extent of Israeli oppression and terror and the effects they have left behind.

SUMMARY:Conversation: JUSTICE IS POLITICAL (NOT HUMANITARIAN): WHAT PALESTINIANS DEMAND FOR GAZA 
DESCRIPTION:JUSTICE IS POLITICAL (NOT HUMANITARIAN): WHAT PALESTINIANS DEMAND FOR GAZA\nThursday\, October 15 1 pm ET/10 am PT \nJustice cannot wait. Ahead of the second presidential debate\, Palestinians in the US plan to reiterate this and other critical demands for justice: to end military funding to Israel and allow Palestinians their internationally-recognized right to return to their occupied homes. Congress’ responsibility to Gaza is political\, not humanitarian. A humanitarian approach seeks to apply a bandage to a gaping wound that should instead be healed through justice in policy: ending US complicity in Israel’s siege of Gaza. Only when Palestinian voices are centered in determining their futures can their hopes for freedom and justice can be realized. Join expert Palestinians and progressive allies to discuss policy demands that aim to stop the roots of the violence on Gaza by removing US support for Israel’s ongoing violations of Palestinian rights. \nRegister to join this critical conversation. \nThis event can be viewed here: https://m.facebook.com/MPowerChange/videos/justice-is-political-not-humanitarian-what-palestinians-demand-for-gaza/2442304769409778/

SUMMARY:Conditional Citizens: Laila Lalami in conversation with Alexander Key
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be American? In this starkly illuminating and impassioned book\, Pulitzer Prize Finalist Laila Lalami recounts her unlikely journey from Moroccan immigrant to U.S. citizen\, using it as a starting point for her exploration of the rights\, liberties\, and protections that are traditionally associated with American citizenship. Tapping into history\, politics\, and literature\, she elucidates how accidents of birth–such as national origin\, race\, or gender–that once determined the boundaries of Americanness still cast their shadows today. Throughout the book\, she poignantly illustrates how white supremacy survives through adaptation and legislation\, with the result that a caste system is maintained\, keeping the modern equivalent of white male landowners at the top of the social hierarchy. Conditional citizens\, she argues\, are all the people whom America embraces with one arm\, and pushes away with the other. Brilliantly argued and deeply personal\, Conditional Citizens weaves together the author’s own experiences with explorations of the place of nonwhites in the broader American culture.
