The Occupation of the American Mind

Israel’s ongoing military occupation of Palestinian territory and repeated invasions of the Gaza Strip have triggered a fierce backlash against Israeli policies virtually everywhere in the world- except in the United States. This film provides a sweeping analysis of Israel’s decades-long battle for the hearts, minds and tax dollars of the American people in the face of widening International condemnation of its increasingly right-wing policies. Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and his threat to cut off all aid to the Palestinians are two recent examples of our government’s hostility and total disregard for the welfare of the Palestinian people.
Please stay for discussion after the film, led by Sallie Shawl, co-founder Jewish Voice for Peace, Tacoma.

The event is a benefit for Ahed Tamimi and other Palestinian children in Israeli military detention
