Jewish Resistance to the Genocide of Palestinians

Dr. Atalia Omer, Professor of Religion, Conflict, and Peace Studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, discusses why the Esther Project appropriates the Jewish Story of Esther and weaponizes antisemitism. She discusses the roots of Jewish solidarity with Palestinians and her comparative study of religion and conflict in Palestine Israel, Kenya, and the Philippines. She shares her vocation as a teacher and researcher and how she uses films to teach about Palestine Israel to help students understand the lenes, representation, and framing of complex issues.
