Dear Khani,


I'm writing to invite you to the next installment of "In Context: Briefings on Israel-Palestine," a Just Vision series of online conversations providing crucial context for events unfolding in Israel-Palestine.


As we approach November's historic election and a new semester begins on college campuses, all eyes are on the precarious state of American democracy. Top of mind for many are urgent questions about free speech, dissent and growing concerns surrounding the U.S.'s role in Israel-Palestine. Over the past year, those who criticize Israel's conduct in Gaza have faced extreme repression, including expulsions from their universities, dismissal from employment, doxing and, at times, arrest and violence from police. 


Join us on Tuesday, Sept 17 at 11:00 am ET / 6:00 pm Jerusalem time to learn more about growing repression of dissent on Israel-Palestine, a trend that has built over decades and escalated in the past year. From anti-boycott legislation to the recent arrests of student protestors, leading experts will examine how these actions impact American democracy and our right to collectively organize on a range of issues – from Palestinian rights to the environment, racial justice, reproductive rights and beyond – at such a critical juncture. Register here.


The briefing will feature the following speakers: 


  • Fadi Abu Shammalah, Journalist from Gaza and Outreach Associate, Just Vision


  • Sabiya Ahamed, Staff Attorney, Palestine Legal 


  • Lara Friedman, President, Foundation for Middle East Peace 


  • Maria La Hood, Deputy Legal Director, Center for Constitutional Rights


  • Simone Zimmerman, Director of Strategic Communications & Outreach, Diaspora Alliance and co-founder, IfNotNow


  • Suhad Babaa (Moderator), President and Executive Director, Just Vision 


Save your spot for this Sept 17 briefing by RSVPing here. A Zoom link will be provided upon registration.


This event is sponsored by Just Vision, the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU), Jewish Currents, Palestine Legal, the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP), Diaspora Alliance and Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR).


With determination,


Daniel Nerenberg

Education and Communications Specialist, Just Vision
