Concepts and Misconceptions – Talking about Israel Today
We will look at common misconceptions and the dangerous spread of disinformation with regard to Israel today. While some of this misinformation has been shared for years, we will explore how to respond and address these misconceptions thoughtfully and effectively since their widespread dissemination since the Hamas terror attack on October 7th.
