Feeling a bit overwhelmed when seeing statements or hearing from friends about the Israel-Hamas War? Not sure how to engage in a meaningful, productive way?

This discussion will help you to respond to statements like “Israel is committing genocide of the Palestinian people” and “The Palestinian people were oppressed by Israel for so long that is no wonder they lashed out on October 7” and “Netanyahu is just after Gaza’s resources.”

A mixture of history, politics and parenting, this discussion is designed to give you tools to respond to statements like this. No prior knowledge of the conflict or history is needed. Join us for real information to answer these complex statements.
