THE PALESTINE EXCEPTION screens TOMORROW (Tues 11/11) @ 7 p.m. w/ filmmaker Jennifer Ruth in attendance. Link in bio for tix. After years of right-wing assaults on higher education, censorship took a brutal form in 2023 and 2024, as students across the country organized protests against Israel’s war on Gaza. Decades-long taboos in academia against criticism of Israel – the “Palestine exception” – were shattered, only to be met with violence and state-backed repression. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians.
