Upcoming Events:


Wednesday, Apr 15, 2015, 7pm, Film: Enduring Roots
<http://ijsn.net/tag/enduring-roots>  From the opening scenes showing a
Jewish National Fund (JNF) bulldozer destroying a Bedouin’s tent in the
Naqab to interviews with the victims of on-going ethnic cleansing, Enduring
Roots shows the devastating impact that the JNF has on the lives of
Palestinians. For over a century, the JNF has been instrumental in expelling

discussion will be led by a representative of the International Jewish
