Celebrated Palestinian author Susan Abulhawa reveals how US taxpayers and readers are beginning to understand that their tax dollars are supporting ethnic cleansing and apartheid.

South African professor John Dugard provides insight into the international community’s disparity in its treatment of South Africa and Israel for applying substantially similar policies, and the prospects and best approaches for ending Israeli apartheid.

Richard Falk, former UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Occupied Palestine (2008-2014), will comment on B’Tselem’s apartheid report and Israel’s 2018 Basic Law that gives preferential status to Jews.

Historian and author Walter Hixson explains why until the monolithic Israel lobby is neutralized, there will never be peace in the Middle East, drawing on insights from his new book, Architects of Repression: How Israel and Its Lobby Put Racism, Violence and Injustice at the Center of US Middle East Policy ([link removed]) .

Congressman Brian Baird (1999-2011) describes how Israel and its US lobby assert authority over Congress, Israel's use of US weapons and equipment in Gaza—including the 2003 killing of his constituent Rachel Corrie—and proposes critical actions voters can take to help elect leaders who will approach these issues in an open-minded way.

UN correspondent Ian Williams provides a brief history of both Republican and Democratic administrations’ sycophantic relations with Israel and how this relationship affects U.S. policies toward the UN and international law.

Palestinian writer and analyst Sumaya Awad warns of the danger of Facebook's effort to suppress criticisms of Zionism by deeming it equivalent to hate speech or anti-Semitism, and her successful campaign against censorship.
