The Impact of Gaza at Home

Join us to discuss the rise of McCarthyist backlash directed towards pro-Palestinian voices, particularly across colleges and universities.

By the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)

Right now, campuses across the nation are witnessing a surge in protests in support of Gaza and the Palestinian people. The Impact of Gaza at Home joins the conversation with a distinguished panel of experts, including Mitchell Plitnick, a political analyst and President of ReThinking Foreign Policy and Tariq Habash, a former political appointee and policy advisor in the Biden administration who resigned due to its policies regarding Gaza and unwavering support for Israel's actions against Palestinians.

Together, they will delve into the alarming rise of McCarthyist tactics targeting pro-Palestinian voices, particularly within student groups across colleges and universities nationwide. These individuals, exercising their right to peaceful expression, find themselves unfairly labeled as antisemitic and wrongly associated with foreign adversaries. Furthermore, there have been troubling calls for federal law enforcement to launch investigations into alleged material support.

It is crucial for us to address and combat such intimidation tactics, which not only undermine the fundamental principles of free expression but also unfairly stigmatize legitimate political discourse.
