Join us 1/10 @ 12pm online for "Bloodlines, Disillusionment and Return: Can They Meet?"
Gabor Maté In Conversation with meital yaniv
bloodlines is an epic and intimate dive into the Isaeli apartheid regime from the perspective of an ex-Israeli/ex-zionist soldier. yaniv directs our attention to the cycles of history and how inhumanity not only repeats but grows monstrously in the crevices of self-centered ethnic/tribal identification.
