Pushing Back and Leaning In on Israel: Jewish Activist Movements and Advocacy Organizations on the Left and Right Since Oct. 7th

College of Arts and Humanities | Joseph and Alma Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies | Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Program and Center for Jewish Studies Monday, November 25, 2024 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm , Virtual

Dr. Elizabeth Stein will discuss how Jewish activist movements and political advocacy organizations across the political spectrum in the U.S. and Canada have responded to the 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas war. The talk will focus on the positions, messaging, and strategies of organizations and movements ranging from AIPAC on the right to the liberal-Zionist and "two-state-solution" JStreet to the non-Zionist and anti-Zionist IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace. How has their activism changed since October 7th and the Israel-Hamas war, and how have Jews, in particular young adults, responded?
