For the last year, The U.S. has funded and armed Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile, Cuba (called a “state sponsor of terrorism” by the U.S.) is training hundreds of Palestinian doctors, many from Gaza, for free at its Latin American School of Medicine. One of them is Murid Abukhater.
While his family and friends face the daily onslaught of Israel’s bombing, Murid attempts to focus on his studies so he can one day return home and help save lives.

In Conversation: Humanity in Gaza Revisited
Invitation to an Online Film Salon
“What is the physical and mental health of the human beings trapped in Gaza?”
Our panelists agreed, at the December 2023 Voices From the Holy Land Online Film Salon, that healing from this humanitarian catastrophe first required a ceasefire and physical safety. Nearly seven months into the war, there is no ceasefire and no safety anywhere in Gaza. How can healing ever begin? What can people do now to end the trauma and support the process of recovery for survivors?
At our July 2024 Salon, guest conversation will center on two short documentaries: Australian Doctor Reveals Experience Inside Gaza and Gaza’s War through a Child’s Eye and an extended excerpt from our December 2023 Salon.

Conversation with Nora Lester Murad and Alice Rothchild around recently published Toolkit to Defend K-12 Educators and Librarians Against False Accusations of Antisemitism.
When librarians and teachers who include Palestinians in their work are falsely attacked as antisemitic, the consequences can be devastating. As education and speech have become so politicized, it makes sense to ask: If I am falsely accused of antisemitism, how can I defend myself?
Alice Rothchild and Nora Lester Murad have developed a toolkit for teachers, librarians, and other educators to help them navigate these often difficult questions: https://idainthemiddle.com/teaching-resources/toolkit-to-defend-k-12-educators-librarians-against-false-accusations-of-antisemitism/
Please join Jewish Voice for Peace Boston for a discussion on this toolkit and how educators can build support to try to reduce the impacts of attacks before they arise, and constructive ways to respond if they do. Please register ahead of time here: https://forms.gle/Vysi84iBBLDReUvB7

Fall Kickoff Meeting of Boston Workers Circle Israel Palestine Committee October 18, 2023
Please join us at the Fall Kickoff Meeting of BWC’s Israel Palestine Committee, on Wednesday, 10/18 at 7 pm (on Zoom). We’ll be presenting information about our exciting slate of events and campaigns in 2023-2024, as well as about ways you can plug into them. To help ground us in our upcoming work, Alice Rothchild will be our featured guest, speaking about her recent trip to Palestine and Israel. Folks will have a chance to learn about the current situation on the ground, and to ask Alice questions about it. In her words:
“In July/August 2023, I had the unusual opportunity to join a human rights focused delegation to Haifa, East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza. We visited a variety of civil society and human rights groups, including three of the organizations criminalized and banned by the Israeli government in 2021. We spent significant time on the West Bank in Area C (the 62% of the West Bank under Israeli civil and military control and the site of most of the Jewish settlements) where we witnessed and documented aggressive attacks by settlers on Palestinians and their villages. We also did an incredible political tour of East Jerusalem which further deepened my understanding of the ongoing Judaization of Palestinian areas. The last week several of us were able to enter Gaza where we continued our investigations into human rights organizations as well as the Gaza Community Mental Health Program and a mentoring program for young writers with which I am deeply involved, We Are Not Numbers. This trip not only deepened my understanding of the impact of Israeli policies and Palestinian resistance, but also the level of joy and celebration that is key to survival in this difficult place.”

Yousef M. Aljamal is a Palestinian refugee from Al-Nusierat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. He recently received his PhD at the Middle East Institute at Sakarya University in Turkey. Yousef Aljamal, besides his research interests in diaspora, security, and indigenous studies, has contributed to a number of books which highlight the Palestinian narrative. He translated two books on Palestinian prisoners entitled The Prisoners’ Diaries: Palestinian Voices from the Israeli Gulag (2013), and Dreaming of Freedom: Palestinian Child Prisoners Speak (2016). He also co-edited the book A Shared Struggle Stories of Palestinian and Irish Hunger Strikers (2021). Yousef Aljamal has published a number of journal articles on topics that include Palestinians in the diaspora, travel restrictions imposed on Palestinians, and struggles for liberation. Over the years, he has spoken at various forums and platforms to highlight the plight of Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation and apartheid. Yousef Aljamal’s contribution to the 2022 anthology Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire focuses on the restrictions on travel as a continuing manifestation of the Palestinian Nakba.
Yousef Aljamal will be in the United States in October 2023 on a speaking tour about Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, a new anthology of Gaza writers published by Haymarket Books in August 2022. The tour is hosted by the American Friends Service Committee. For more information about the book visit gazaunlocked.org/anthology
AFSCs new anthology, Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, imagines the future of Gaza beyond the cruelties of occupation and Apartheid. It imagines what the future of Gaza could be, while reaffirming the critical role of Gaza in Palestinian identity, history, and liberation.
Light in Gaza is a wide-ranging anthology that includes new works by eleven Palestinian writers and poets. It constitutes a collective effort to organize and center Palestinian voices in the ongoing struggle for liberation and justice. It explores the central question: can a better future for Gaza be imagined as a part of a broader vision for ending the Nakba through return, restoration of rights, and achieving justice?

Book Talk and Conversation: Why is Palestine Missing in Young Adult / Children’s Literature?
Alice will discuss the history and politics of her own journey as a writer, how she got into writing a YA book, and why she chooses to focus on Palestine amidst a prevailing absence of the subject in Young Adult and Children’s literature. She will share reflections on why that is so, what happens to teachers and librarians who teach Palestine, and why this is important in a broader sense in terms of antiracist, anticolonial education.
Alice will also discuss the inspiration for her new young adult novel, Finding Melody Sullivan, that seeks to creatively address this issue, and offer a reading from the book.

Voices From the Holy Land,
Voices From the Holy Land is an organization that screens documentary films as catalysts for in-depth discussions on issues of justice, human rights, and peace in the Holy Land. They are organizing an Online Film Salon on May 21, 2023 to mark the 75th anniversary of Nakba. They will be screening my documentary film, Voices Across the Divide, and I will participate in the online Q&A panel discussion. This online event will start at 3 pm ET and last for 90 minutes. registration details to follow. https://www.voicesfromtheholyland.org/
Post film screening Online Film Salon Dr. Ahlam Muhtaseb, author, filmmaker, and Professor of Media Studies at CSUSB will be the moderator and will guide the conversation through specific questions to the panelist.
two documentary films, Voices across the Divide and Born in Deir Yassin, pull back the carefully constructed curtain of “a land without people for a people without a land.” Since 1948, a monumental effort has been made to promote a romantic mythology of Israel’s creation and to hide the brutal violence. But firsthand accounts by both the oppressor and the oppressed, the expeller and the exiled, reveal the ongoing wounds. Nothing is resolved by dialogue alone, yet nothing will be resolved without it. Any hope of coexistence begins when the historical truth is rediscovered and acknowledged. It begins here.

Alice Rothchild’s reflections on US Jews and Israel: So much love and so much unhappiness
I will briefly review the attachment of US Jews to Israel, why there is so much discord now, and then do a deep dive into how this has played out when it comes to what children learn about Palestine in our country. This is of particular interest to me because I have recently published a young adult book, Finding Melody Sullivan, in which much of the action takes place in Palestine and I am engaged in a research project on the absence of Palestine in kid lit and the pushback that occurs when the occasional teacher or librarian engages in books about Palestine or Palestinians.

SUNDAY, APRIL 3 from 3 – 4 pm via Zoom
Title: Reflections on Jerusalem: A century of lost opportunities
Dr. Rothchild will provide a personal exploration of the ancient city of Jerusalem, with a special focus on East Jerusalem and the surrounding areas of greater Jerusalem, which have experienced decades of “Judaization” and erasure of the Palestinian presence. What are the costs of these policies, not only to Palestinians, but also to Jewish Israelis? How is this a mirror of the ongoing occupation of Palestine? What can we learn and what can we do?
Alice Rothchild is a physician, author, and filmmaker who has focused her interest on human rights and social justice on the Israel/Palestine conflict since 1997. She practiced Obstetrics & Gynecology for almost 40 years. Until her retirement she served as Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harvard Medical School. She writes and lectures widely, is the author of Broken Promises, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and Resilience (translated into Hebrew and German); On the Brink: Israel and Palestine on the Eve of the 2014 Gaza Invasion; and Condition Critical: Life and Death in Israel/Palestine.
Dr. Rothchild directed the documentary film, Voices Across the Divide. She is also on the board of the We Are Not Numbers program in Gaza and the Gaza Mental Health Foundation, and on the steering committee of the Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council.

Grounded in our belief that peace in Israel/Palestine cannot exist without justice for all – Israelis and Palestinians: Jews, Muslims, and Christians – this seminar will examine why and how we, as American citizens, must seek effective ways to end U.S. complicity in the dispossession and human rights violations of a people living under Israeli military and civil control. We will look at present living conditions for Palestinians in the occupied territories, as well as the legalization of an apartheid system of discriminatory laws that deny basic political rights, including peaceful protest. The current “facts on the ground,” costs of maintaining the status quo, its harm to immediate and long-term US, Palestinian and Israeli interests, and how each of us can make a difference will be addressed by:
• Brian Baird, Ph.D., former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, will explore the role of Congress, the influence of special interests, faith-based organizations and the media, and examine the moral imperative for Palestinian advocacy.
• Mark Braverman, Ph.D., Jewish American psychologist and author, co-founder of Friends of Tent of Nations North America and Executive Director of Kairos USA, will focus on antisemitism and the role of theology in the current discourse.
• Cindy Corrie, President of the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, will offer practical information on how to advocate both locally and nationally and how to overcome common myths and misperceptions that stand in the way.
• John McKay, J.D., former US attorney for Western WA, coordinator for a State Department rule of law project in the West Bank and professor of constitutional and national security law, will examine Palestinian life under occupation through the lens of Israeli, U.S. and international law.
• Alice Rothchild, MD, author, filmmaker and retired professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School, will discuss the current critical medical crisis and obstacles to access of radiation treatment, cancer drugs and Covid vaccines in Gaza and the West Bank.
• Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, Palestinian American whose life and work crosses cultural, geographic and political borders, essayist, and author of Water and Salt, winner of the 2018 Washington State Book Award for Poetry, will share snapshots of the daily lives of Palestinian families.

In this talk, public health scholar, epidemiologist, and pharmacist Dr. Danya Qato will speak to the limits and possibilities of public health practice, research, and advocacy in Palestine that have come under increased attention during the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Friday, May 15, the Online Film Series continues with Voices Across the Divide an award-winning film by Dr. Alice Rothchild, exploring the thinking of Jews who support the Occupation and settlements in the West Bank, and those who do not. A live discussion with Dr. Rothchild will follow the screening. The purpose of the film, as explained by its directors, is to open a space for honest dialogue:
“The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is one of the most prominent, hot button debates in the US today. There is often little space for compassionate listening or deepening awareness. Access to information about the conflict is shaped by powerful forces and organizations. We believe a better future is possible based on mutual respect and knowledge.
We hope Voices Across the Divide will contribute to an open dialogue grounded in mutual respect, understanding, and political activism that leads to justice for all people in the region. Narrated by Alice Rothchild, an American Jew raised on the tragedies of the Holocaust and the dream of a Jewish homeland in Israel, Voices Across the Divide follows her personal journey as she begins to understand the Palestinian narrative, while exploring the Palestinian experience of loss, occupation, statelessness, and immigration to the US.

“These powerful stories send a message about the resilience and passion of a courageous group of Jews who have come to the realization that the state of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians does not live up to the ethical standards Jewish tradition demands. Taken together, their words challenge the idea that Judaism and Zionism are inseparable. Their commitment to live a Jewish life without Zionism bodes well for the future of Judaism.” — Rebecca T. Alpert.
Alice Rothchild is the author of the books, Broken Promises, Broken Dreams, On the Brink, and Condition Critical. Ned Rosch is co-founder of Jewish Voice for Peace in Portland.
