On Yom Kippur, journalist Max Blumenthal delivered this powerful presentation during the afternoon program at Tzedek Chicago, where he discussed what he witnessed in Gaza during Israel’s military onslaught last summer. He wrote about his experiences at length in his recent book, “The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza.”
Max attended our services for the duration of Yom Kippur and remarked to me on more than one occasion how important it was for him to be invited to speak in a Jewish congregation for the first time.
For my part, I could not think of a more appropriate presentation for the Jewish Day of Atonement.
Please watch and share…
This is so important and yet so attacked by many in the Jewish American community who will never go along with the mind-set that seeks justice, not merely peace. It is a rare happening and I’ve spread the word on 248 English, French, and Arabic sites in Facebook. Bon courage! Keep up the good work. One day they will understand why.
