We invite you to a lecture with Professor Stephen Zunes!
The United States has once again found itself largely isolated in the international community in its support for Israel’s war on Gaza, its opposition to a ceasefire, its refusal to condition military aid, and its vetoes of otherwise-unanimous UN Security Council resolutions. The Biden administration’s policy, while supported by Congressional leaders of both parties, has nevertheless led to widespread domestic opposition, with polls showing a majority of Americans opposing such unconditional support for Israel’s war and occupation. This is particularly pronounced among younger Americans, including Jews, resulting in widespread protests at universities and elsewhere. Such dissent has is threatening Biden’s re-election prospects as many young, Muslim, Arab-American, and other minority voters have pledged to no longer support him.
Join us as we’ve invited Professor Stephen Zunes to talk about the US’s position in the Israel-Hamas war, as well as domestic and national reactions!
