Jewish New Yorkers to Protest Synagogue’s Attempt to Silence Israel Debate
Four New York organizations — Jewish Voice for Peace-New York; Nakba Education Project; Jews Say No!; and the National Lawyers Guild Palestine Subcommittee — have expressed outrage that Lincoln Square Synagogue (LSS) on Manhattan’s Upper West Side has canceled a program scheduled for Thursday night giving just one day’s notice. The program was to include representatives from a Palestinian human rights organization, Badil, and an Israeli human rights organization called Zochrot. They were to discuss the “Ongoing Nakba” affecting Palestinians, both in historic Palestine and in the diaspora, as well as their joint work on practical implementation of right of return for Palestinian refugees — issues critical to achieving a just and sustainable solution to the crisis. Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the forced displacement of Palestinians that began with Israel’s establishment in 1948, and continues to this day.
