DESCRIPTION:A film screening and Q&A on\n\nTHE PALESTINE EXCEPTION\n\nJoin us for a 
 thought-provoking evening! Watch the newly released documentary The 
 Palestine Exception, directed by Jan Haaken and Jennifer Ruth, and stay for 
 a Q&A session with Marlene Eid and Rochelle McLaughlin.\n\nAs students 
 across the country organize protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, 
 decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel – the 
 “Palestine exception” – are shattered. This film features professors 
 and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from 
 companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from 
 administrators, the media, the police, and politicians.\n\nQ&A 
 Bios:\n\nMarlene Eid, graduate of the Sorbonne university, in Paris, is a 
 psychology faculty at Portland Community College (PCC). Marlene is a 
 Palestinian American born and reared in East Jerusalem, where she grew up 
 under Israeli military occupation. She is a lifelong advocate of 
 Palestinian human rights, and a defender of social justice 
 issues.\n\nRochelle McLaughlin taught at SJSU within the College of Health 
 and Human Sciences for 20 years until she resigned this December due to 
 SJSU's support for the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Palestine. Rochelle is 
 currently working with the Stanford Healthcare Workers for Palestine to 
 continue to organize for a free Palestine and amplify the truth.\n\nA 
 donation of $10-20 per person is suggested to support mutual aid efforts 
 for families in Palestine. No one will be turned away due to lack of 
 funds.\n\nOpen to the public\nFree parking\n\nRegister to attend:
