A Three Part Series led by Bev Voloshin
On Zoom Only
December 14th, January 11th and 25th

We again study Israel's destruction of Gaza and attempt to understand how this happened, what may follow, what is our responsibility as American Jews, and what might we do to stop the ongoing catastrophe in Gaza and the West Bank. Participation in the previous Eyes on Gaza Part series is excellent preparation but absolutely not required.

In this three part series, we will discuss many hard realities, including 

• the role of the pro-Israel lobby in the US in supporting Israel's aggression over many years

• Israel's conduct in Gaza, and particularly the use of Artificial Intelligence,

• the warning that Netanyahu received before the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023,

• what path exists for the future,

• what moral standing Israel has left,

• what is the responsibility of American Jewish organizations now, and 

• what can we as American Jews do now?
