A supportive discussion space for Jewish people* who want to understand the Palestinian struggle in the context of Judaism and Jewishness
* Defined broadly, but please ask if you’re not sure if you fit.
On Zoom, 6pm AEDT 5 November
Please read through this whole description before registration.
This event is for you if:
- You want a safe Jewish space to talk about Palestine, and receive and find support without judgement
- You are angry, upset, concerned, or confused about issues such as the ongoing occupation and genocide in Gaza, and dehumanising language about Palestinian people in media and the Jewish community
- You want to know more about what Palestinian liberation means
- You believe that “never again” applies to everyone, not just Jewish people
- You aren’t sure how to talk about Palestine with your friends and family
- You’re conscious of (or willing to discover) biases you still hold and want to work through without causing harm to Palestinian people
It is NOT for you if:
- You are an uncritical supporter of the Israeli government
- You want to debate
- You want to berate people for not thinking exactly as you do
We will be assuming good faith and setting community agreements in session, but will not hesitate to remove participants if necessary. To facilitate open discussion and protect confidentiality, this event will not be recorded.
