What is the difference between Jewish and Zionist?
Marilyn Garson is the co-founder of Alternative Jewish Voices, an observant Jew who has lived and worked in Gaza. Her first book, Still Lives, told the story of her Gazan team through four years and two wars. Her second book, Jewish, not Zionist will be published on October 22. She speaks of a liberatory Jewish identity, and the global growth of Jewish advocacy for Palestinians' rights. Bring the questions you have hesitated to ask.

Marilyn Garson worked in Gaza for four years. Witnessing Israeli bombardments and total military siege on the lives of ordinary Palestinians, Garson asked herself, “What will I believe: everything I’ve ever been told or the world in front of my eyes?” As she unlearned Zionism, she uncovered a rich, outward-looking Jewishness.
