This discussion was held on the GrayStak Media platform at the Jerusalem Academy of Arts in Little Palestine, Bridgeview, IL. The panel speaks independently of the venue and forum, representing its own views and perspectives. The topic of the discourse is the overlap between ICE and the IDF. Speakers explore forms of repression, the expression of dissent, and the impact of a repressive government on healthcare, education, economics, and society at large. In this exploration, individuals consider other viewpoints through the principles of open inquiry. Some share their thoughts and feelings in the current moment in Chicago, and explore the overlap with Gaza. The core of the discussion is human rights and the lived experiences of those working in the field.
