United Church activists offer free online course on Israel/Palestine beginning January

The United Network for Justice and Peace in Palestine/Israel (UNJPPI) is offering Canadians access to a series of nine hour long talks beginning January 15th on the history of Palestine/Israel. See our short interview with course leader Philip Sherwood.

The course is composed of a series of 9 illustrated talks that traces Zionist / Israeli efforts to occupy historic Palestine, dispossess the Palestinian inhabitants, and deny them fundamental human rights and self determination. Each session is 60 minutes followed by 30 minutes of Q/A and discussion. The talks are introductory and non-academic, and no prior knowledge of the history of Palestine / Israel is necessary.

They are sponsored by the United Network for Justice and Peace in Palestine/Israel (UNJPPI) a national organization of activists affiliated with the United Church of Canada.

I caught up to Philip from his home in the lower Fraser Valley in British Columbia last week and asked him about the course – who might benefit and why? See my interview here.

For more information about the course, including the agenda, information about the lecturer and how to register, see the POSTER HERE.

    Related to the Israel palestine topic What Is Politics has done a brilliant deep dive YT series:

  2. Another excellent resource on Zionism is Dr. Roy Casagranda https://youtu.be/U9mLrMSmTKI?si=TwBL_Iu-X9aTTZhH

    She does a great job shredding Amerikkka NatZionism as well as the toxic mysogynist white supremacist petty parochial puritanical patriarchal prurient FundyThumpers on their March to A Handmaid’s Tale theocratic dystopia

    Mark Charles does an excellent historical analysis and biblical exegesis on the pathological dysfunctional co-dependency between Amerikkka and Israel – it’s unsinkable Aircraft Carrier in the middle east where Gawd mistakenly put Amerikkka’s Oil.

    Interestingly Mark Charles, Presidential candidate in 2020 does a brilliant analysis and biblical exegesis of the pathological co-dependency between ISrael and Amerikkka…

    Amerikkka is NOT God’s Chosen People Amerikkka does not have a Land Covenant with the God of Abraham

    The dysfunctional co-dependent relationship between Amerikkka and the modern nation state of ISISrael has nothing to do with justice and freedom. It has everything to do with justifying oppression and injustice.

    Amerikkka needs the Legacy of the OldTestament Land covenant with Israel to justify its genocide of the native Americans and its enslavement of Africans. The modern nation state of ISISrael needs the dynamic prosperous nation state of Amerikkka to justify it’s genocidal deeds toward the Palestinians and the Beduins. …

    Amerikkka is not, has never been, and will never be Christian. …
