The U.S.-Israel Special Relationship: A Strategic & Moral Liability

Dear Email,

The next installment of the "Palestine in Session" webinar series will focus on the U.S.-Israel “special relationship,” and its negative impact, mainly in the United States. The Palestinians have endured 75 years of Al-Nakba (Catastrophe), and for decades Israel’s apartheid regime has been maintained by U.S. support, whether by economic, political, military, or diplomatic means. The roots of the US.-Israel relationship developed over decades.

How does the U.S. aid to Israel impact everyday Americans? How does the “special relationship” affect U.S. national interests? These questions will be answered and more.

Israeli policy has proven to be a strategic and moral liability for the United States. While Americans struggle at home, Israel receives a whopping $3.8 billion dollars a year from U.S. tax dollars. This funding helps to maintain Israeli oppression against the Palestinians, not the so-called shared values of democracy and the rule of law. Americans need to understand that this “special relationship” not only hurts Palestinians but Americans as well. This webinar will explain why.

Join us on Thursday, July 20th, @ 2:00 PM EST for this important webinar where I will be hosting a live discussion on Facebook and YouTube with our wonderful guests: 

• Lara Friedman: President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP)
• Raed Jarrar: Advocacy Director of Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) 
• Yousef Munayyer: Head of Palestine/Israel Program and Senior Fellow at Arab Center Washington D.C.

Please share this webinar on social media (Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram), and be sure to invite your friends and family to tune in.

We look forward to having you join us Thursday, July 20th, @ 2:00 PM EST.
