CODEPINK Women for Peace opposes attempts by the American Jewish Committee and the Israeli government to cancel tonight's US premiere of Julian Schnabel’s film, Miral, at the United Nations. It is only through a humane and nuanced discussion of the lived history and current realities of Palestinians—in Israel, in Gaza and the West Bank, and in the Diaspora—that a lasting and just peace for all people in the region can be attained. Efforts to intimidate and silence those who wish to further that discussion have no place in the American political landscape.
