From the USSR to American Campuses: The Roots of Today’s Antizionist Discourse

Join us for an eye-opening program exploring how Soviet antizionist ideas continue to shape the language and dynamics of anti-Israel discourse today. APRIL 27 | Reception 6:15pm, Program 7pm | College Park, MD. The evening begins with a short documentary, A Special Russian Truth, which traces the origins of today’s anti-Israel rhetoric to a decades-long Soviet campaign of antisemitic propaganda. Following the film, journalist Karys Rhea will speak with Izabella Tabarovsky, author of Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student’s Survival Guide, about how Soviet antizionist propaganda and active measures continue to influence the contemporary anti-Israel movement and what lessons refusenik models of resistance can offer to young American Jewish activists.
