How Zionism Destroyed Gush Katif

On the sands of Gush Katif, IDF soldiers with vests and caps emblazoned with the Flag of Israel barricaded Jewish homes and synagogues to uproot individual lives in the name of the Jewish State...in the name of Zionism. This provocative lecture by Orit Arfa, who was dragged out of a synagogue in Gush Katif, will discuss how Zionist principles actually led to the fall of Gush Katif in Gaza, and how Zionism needs to be redefined today to allow the true pursuit of peace and happiness for Jews and all peoples. The evening will also celebrate the launch of Orit's novel, The Settler and her visit to Los Angeles from her new city of Ariel, Israel. Come to say hello, listen to new ideas and hang out! We'll go out for drinks nearby after.
