Film screening of Some of My Best Friends are Zionists
The Palestine Solidarity Alliance of Hunter College invites you to our upcoming film screening!
In the heart of the American-Jewish community, there is more diversity of opinion than one might imagine from the statements of the official Jewish organizations or the reports of the mainstream media. Change appears to be happening. “Some of My Best Friends Are Zionists” interviews both young people like Jesse and notable Jewish artists and intellectuals like Tony Kushner, Judith Butler, James Schamus, and Gary Shteyngart, asking them what they were told about Israel as they were growing up, why that world view was as compelling as it was, and how they came to change their minds.
Join us in the screening “Some of My Best Friends are Zionists”. The screening will take place on November 2nd at 5:30 PM in Room 105 of the Thomas Hunter Building at Hunter College. It will be followed by a discussion with its director and Columbia University professor Bruce Robbins, as well as other former Zionists who then became active in the movement of solidarity with Palestine.
