It was one of the most beautiful things that I’ve ever done, and then in my talk back, I led with a queer Palestinian student from Ramallah…The fact that she was able to stand on stage with me, and then we could speak back and literally give people who had such simplistic understandings of both Judaism and Israel-Palestine a crash course in the counter-narrative, as two queer people invested in fighting occupation, invested in also fighting antisemitism. It was beautiful.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
