Details: Wednesday July 21 1:00 p.m. EDT - On Green Olive Collective for tours in the West Bank, you notice the extensive military infrastructure. The occupied territory is full of checkpoints, walls and army bases. But this militarism also extends deep into Israel proper and permeates all parts of Jewish Israeli society. How does this situation shape society itself? New Profile is an organisation leading the demilitarisation movement and we’re excited to partner with them for our latest online event!
New Profile believes that the militarism embedded in all aspects of Israeli society exacerbates violence, racism and sexism whilst weakening civilian and democratic values. In this 90 minute event, we will hear about their work and take a virtual tour all over the country to explore how and where the military influence is most felt.
We’ll address questions like; what are the militarist norms in Israeli society? How are militarization processes embedded in education, culture and everyday life? And how do young Israelis who wish to avoid military service handle this reality? There will be time for audience questions, and registration for the event is free – but you are encouraged to contribute whatever you felt it was worth at the end.
