DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nIsrael's genocide in Gaza and occupation of  Palestine 
 furnishes Israel with a ghoulish laboratory for testing  weapons and 
 surveillance technology that can be exported around the world to despots 
 and so-called democracies. \n\nOne of Israel’s high tech tools  is based 
 on mobile phone tracking to monitor the evacuation of Palestinians from 
 parts of northern Gaza. Another, which the military calls “The Gospel,” 
 generates lists of buildings to be bombed. Still another–“Lavender” 
 assigns ratings to people in Gaza in order to label them as military 
 targets.  The Orwellian named software “Where’s Daddy?” purports to 
 determine a target's location.\n\nMeanwhile, Israel lobby groups infiltrate 
 our schools to erase Palestine in the classroom while indoctrinating our 
 students to conflate antisemitism with anti-Zionism. Lobbyists like the 
 Anti-Defamation League create their own laboratory in class when they 
 peddle lesson plans defining antisemitism as bias against Israel or 
 encourage students to track hate incidents, with  criticism of Israel as a 
 racist endeavor considered an anti-semitic incident.\n\nJoin CODEPINK 
 Congress for a closer look at the Palestine laboratory in Gaza and in 
 class!\n\nFeatured Guests \nAntony Lowenstein is an Australian/German 
 investigative journalist, podcaster and best-selling author of “The
