Building Jewish solidarity with Palestinians: A journey including 4 years in Gaza and fierce push-back from pro-Zionists back home
Jewish author, Marilyn Garson, talks about her experience working with people in Gaza for four years from 2011 through to 2015, as documented in her book, Still Lives. This period included Israel's devastating 50 day bombardment of Gaza in 2014. As told in Jewish Not Zionist, on returning home to Aotearoa/New Zealand she worked to build Jewish solidarity with the Palestinian people, but met ongoing vehement opposition from her synagogue. Nevertheless she connected with like-minded Jewish locals, and eventually co-founded 'Alternative Jewish Voices'.As told in this interview, Marilyn continues to advocate for justice for the people of Palestine - a justice consistent with her Jewish faith, but not with the violence and oppression of the Zionist State of Israel.NB: This episode was pre-recorded shortly before the current ceasefire deal.Book launch linksRegister for book launch in MelbourneBook launch events in Sydney, Melbourne, and onlineInformation on FacebookBuying Marilyn's books after the launchhttps://shop.redflag.org.au/https://nibs.org.au/ (NB: website may be under renovation)Local Jewish groups for PalestineLoud Jew CollectiveThe Jewish Council of AustraliaJewish organisations calling for sanctions against Israel
