YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPatreononly discussion on Zionism's history is available here
Jason Rosenberg, Ilana Cruger-Zaken and Richie Merino talk about why they infiltrated discussion between U.S. Representatives Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Mike Lawler (R-NY), moderated by Mijal Bitton and held at 92Y on New York's Upper East Side. Lawler and Torres introduced a bill to create a new Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords (which normalizes relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain) which passed in the House of Representatives through the National Defense Authorization Act of 2024 (NDAA). The audience members said things like "GET HER OUT! GET THE F*CK OUT! WE'RE GONNA DOX THE SH*T OUT OF YOU!" The security guards were rough with the protestors and one woman in the audience assaulted one of the protestors.
Richie happens to be a constituent of Richie Torres and he calls him out for "pimping out his identity" for the highest bidder, in this case AIPAC. Richie Merino is an NYC public school teacher in the South Bronx and an anti-imperialist activist and organizer with the Bronx Antiwar Coalition.
Jason Rosenberg is an advocate and organizer with a focus in public health and HIV. He is an ACT UP NY and Reclaim Pride Coalition member, and was named in 2020's "Logo30" by LogoTV. You can find writings of his on public health, HIV/AIDS, and Queer identity in publications such as Teen Vogue, Out Magazine, The Advocate, TheBody, and Hey Alma.
Ilana Cruger-Zaken is an antizionist Jewish activist based Westchester, New York and a founding member of the Israeli antizionist collective Shoresh.
