Tariq Abu Khdeir is the 15-year-old Palestinian-American arrested and beaten by Israeli police in Jerusalem last month. Tariq’s cousin Mohammed Abu Khdeir was kidnapped and tortured to death by right-wing Israeli extremists the day before Tariq was detained. Tariq and his family will be visiting with members of Congress earlier in the day and will join us for this special Middle East Cafe.
Our panel discussion will also feature Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies and others. We will talk about the context of the current assault, the consequences, the U.S. role and responsibility, and beyond.
Free and Open to the public - refreshments available for purchase during event.
