AFSC hosted a Facebook Live on November 29 regarding Israel's attempt to criminalize Palestinian civil society organizations. AFSC
On November 29, the International Day in Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we hosted our partners and fellow human rights advocates on Facebook Live to discuss the Israeli government's attempt to criminalize Palestinian civil society organizations. If you missed the live recording, you can still view it here.
We have gathered resources to learn more about this move to silence critical work for Palestinian rights here on AFSC's website. We urge you to encourage your member of Congress to speak out against Israel's attacks on these human rights defenders. You can take action here.
