Origins and Outcomes of U.S. Defense Policy Toward Israel with former State Dept official Josh Paul and Assessing the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza with Dr. Tariq Haddad (Virginia Coalition for Human Rights)

Sponsored by Rutgers Center for Security, Race & Rights (RCSRR)

The United States describes its commitment to support Israel as “iron clad” to the extent that our nation is providing diplomatic and military support while Israel conducts what the ICJ has described as a “plausible genocide” in Gaza. Former U.S. State Department official, Josh Paul, will examine how U.S. security and defense policy undermines American interests abroad and its most fundamental values at home.

Palestinian American cardiologist Dr. Tariq Haddad, who lost more than 100 family members since October 7 2023, will discuss the grave humanitarian impact of Israel’s bombing campaign, mass starvation practices, and total blockade of Gaza.
