at Temple Micah + On Zoom
Rebecca Strober of Breaking the Silence will speak on the relationship between the current protest movement and the occupation of the West Bank. Breaking the Silence is an organization of veteran soldiers of Israel Defense Forces who have taken it upon themselves to reveal to the Israeli public the full reality of everyday life in the Occupied Territories. They seek to stimulate public debate about the price paid for a situation in which young soldiers face a civilian population on a daily basis and are engaged in the control of that population’s everyday life. Their work aims to bring an end to the occupation.
No advance registration is required to attend in-person. Please contact the office for the Zoom link.
