Peter Beinart Interviews Francesca Albanese

Peter Beinart Interviews Francesca Albanese

Join us virtually for a members-only event on Thursday, June 4th at 1 pm ET:

This Thursday, Jewish Currents is pleased to co-host a virtual conversation between editor-at-large Peter Beinart and Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories and author of the new book, When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words and Wounds of Palestine. She has been sanctioned by the Trump administration, which has barred her from entering the United States and frozen her assets in the country. They'll talk about her new book, her investigations into Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank, her views of US, European, and United Nations policy toward Israel, and about the criticisms of her. They'll also talk about what it’s like to live under US sanctions.
