We Will Not Be Silenced: Embracing Palestinian liberation and Building Anti-Zionist Jewish Community

Join Global Jews for Palestine and Haymarket Books for a discussion on Palestinian liberation and building Anti-Zionist Jewish community.Mission Statement:We are Jews from many countries who are members of local, national and international networks and organizations. We are multi-ethnic and multigenerational and our members embrace a broad range of viewpoints on Jewish religious and ethical traditions. We are connected by our involvement in the struggle for Palestinian rights, and by our determination to work for justice. We oppose Zionism and all forms of racism and colonialism.We believe that it is our particular responsibility to challenge Jewish organizations whose alliances and actions undermine Palestinian human and national rights, promote Jewish exceptionalism, and overturn Jewish social justice traditions. At the heart of our work is the fight for Palestinian liberation and the struggle for a world free of racial and ethnic hierarchy, colonial domination, and unbridled militarism.Background:Global Jews for Palestine initially came together to share our experiences of opposing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism - a document that is being used to shield Israel from valid political challenge and to suppress advocacy for Palestinian rights. Since our founding in 2019, we have come to recognize that our purpose is to be a powerful and effective global Jewish voice advocating for Palestinian liberation.In the past year, as we have witnessed Israel’s genocide in Gaza and intensified ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, we are more committed than ever to making our voices heard and to standing together with the Palestinian people.Moderator:Marilyn Garson, Alternative Jewish Voices (Aotearoa/New Zealand)Panelists: Sheryl Nestel, Independent Jewish Voices (Canada)Wieland Hoban, Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East (Germany)Iván Zeta, Judíes x Palestina (Argentina)Closing: Dr. Gabor Maté, Hungarian-Canadian PhysicianThis event is co-sponsored by Haymarket Books and Global Jews for Palestine.Watch the live event recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrmXSnmFLPUBuy books from Haymarket: www.haymarketbooks.org
