To hear more, visit zeteo.com For the first-ever ‘Beyond Israelism’ LIVE event, host Simone Zimmerman sat down with Emmy award-winning actor and comedian Hannah Einbinder, British-Palestinian novelist Isabella Hammad, and Columbia University graduate and former ICE detainee Mahmoud Khalil at New York City’s famous Riverside Church. Filmed in front of an audience of over 700 people in a historic space that has long been home to movements for justice and liberation, Simone and guests unpacked the meaning and material impact of Zionism, increased political repression in the US, the importance of solidarity, the changing landscape of public opinion on Israel-Palestine, and took an array of questions from the audience. Together, Hannah, Isabella, Mahmoud, and Simone wrestled with questions of identity, power, empire, and collective liberation, and what it means to imagine a future beyond violence and supremacy. This event was produced and presented by Zeteo, Project 48, Tikkun Olam Productions, Palestine Circle of The Riverside Church. Special thanks to everyone who helped us organize this event: Ibrahim Zubairi, Miriam Yousaf, Lucas Brooks, Sekar Paramitta, Carly Shaffer, Columbia SJP, and Columbia/Barnard JVP.
