Since 2003, obstetrician Alice Rothchild has traveled annually to Israel/Palestine with other concerned Americans, to learn about health and human rights situation of politically marginalized communities, especially Palestinians. Condition Critical: Life and Death in Israel/Palestine presents key blog posts and analytical essays that explore everyday life in Israel, East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza up close and with searing honesty. These eyewitness reports and intimate stories depict the critical condition of a region suffering from decades-old wounds of colonization and occupation. Please join us at Red Emma's on February 10th in welcoming Alice Rothschild as she dares (and inspires) us to examine the painful consequences of Zionism and Israeli expansion and to bend the arc of the moral universe towards justice.
"Prepare to enter the world of contemporary Israel/Palestine through the unsparing eyes of an informed and passionate observer- a respected US physician struggling to understand the lived realities of Jews and Palestinians caught up in a trap unlike any other on earth." -Jennifer Leaning, Director, Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights
