Recently hundreds attended a mock Congressional hearing answering the question, “Does US Policy in Israel and Palestine Uphold our Values?” in Chicago. The Hearing examined U.S. foreign policy, Israeli treatment of Palestinians, and their relationship to fundamental American values and interests. The Chicago Hearing’s Organizing Committee will publish a report in June that states our findings, conclusions and recommendations and in the coming months will discuss our findings, conclusions and recommendations with members of the media and elected officials.
