Description
When are accusations of antisemitism pointing to a genuine problem we all need to take seriously, and when are they inflating Jewish fears to shield Israel from legitimate criticism?
In this workshop, we will learn how to sort one from the other. We will trace the origins of the idea that criticism of Israel is antisemitic, and we'll learn how this idea poses dangers for Jews and non-Jews alike. We will build an analysis of antisemitism that moves us away from ethnonationalism, and toward liberation for all instead.
Join Jewish Voice for Peace of Vermont & New Hampshire as we work to re-connect real struggles for Jewish safety with the struggle for everyone's safety and freedom.
This workshop is focused on questions concerning Jews and Judaism, but people of all backgrounds are very welcome to attend.
