Please join us at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane for a screening of The Palestine Exception withdiscussion following.

Presented by Meaningful Movies of Spokane and the Spokane chapter of Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East, this documentary is an eye-opening look at the decline of free speech at our country’s colleges and universities.

After years of right-wing assaults on higher education, attacks took a new form in 2023 and 2024 that has been described as the new McCarthyism. Students across the country organized protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, shattering the decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the “Palestine exception”. 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.
