Over the last year, it’s become apparent that many young American students attending elite universities not only openly despise the same western civilization that afforded them their educational opportunities, but will also gladly march for a death cult that seeks that same society’s destruction. It only makes sense that after growing up in wealth and privilege, these same students would show support for a group whose values uphold the virtues of spousal rape and throwing gays off of rooftops.
Some Jewish students have decided to boycott the Birthright Israel program because of its ties to the Israeli government (and of course to Miriam Adelson). It occurred to me that these activists need a special experiential learning opportunity to see the society they are advocating for up-close, in-person, and without the Zionist hasbara.
So along with my Israeli friend (and ex-IDF solder)
, I am pleased to launch our new Birthright Palestine program!Mission: to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Palestinian identity and heritage without the nonsense you hear on the news. Our program includes guided tours of historic sites, cultural workshops, and opportunities to engage with the local community. Participants will have the chance to explore cities like Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and more. Each trip is designed to provide a comprehensive and meaningful experience, promoting personal growth and a stronger connection to Palestine.
Eligibility: You do not need to be an indigenous Palestinian to apply, but you must self-identify as pro-Palestinian.
