DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nEver since J-Street’s founding in 2007, the  organization 
 has promoted itself as the liberal alternative to the American Israel 
 Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). For left-leaning politicians fearful of 
 AIPAC’s wrath, aligning with J-Street provided insulation from Zionist 
 primary election challenges; lawmakers could be mildly critical of 
 Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, yet still profess allegiance to 
 the State of Israel as a Jewish ethno-state even if it came at the expense 
 of millions of Palestinians.\n\nNot so anymore, not with Israel’s 
 genocide in Gaza, its deliberate targetting of civilians livestreamed on 
 our cell phones.\n\nThe mask is off as we witness a continuation of the 
 Nakba (catastrophe) or ethnic cleansing of Palestine that began in 1947-48 
 when Zionist militias destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages and expelled 
 750,000+ Palestinians from their homes to make way for the State of 
 Israel.\n\nJoin us for a discussion of the end of liberal Zionism and the 
 ascendant movement of anti-Zionist Jews demanding 
 decolonization..\n\nSpecial Guests: \n\nNorman Solomon is the co-founder of 
 RootsAction.org, the founding director of the Institute for Public Accuracy 
 and the author of the book, War Made Invisible. Norman’s other books 
 include War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death 
 and Made Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America's Warfare State. 
 Together with his brother Abba, Norman wrote, “The Dead End of Liberal 
 American Zionism,” an article published in Common Dreams.\n\nAbba A. 
 Solomon is an independent researcher and  author of The Miasma of Unity: 
 Jews and Israel and The Speech, and Its Context: Jacob Blaustein's Speech 
 ‘The Meaning of Palestine Partition to American Jews,' given to the 
 Baltimore Chapter, American Jewish Committee, February 15, 1948. \n
