The Israel Lobby Con EXTRA! Podcast
Education
Since 2015 the annual IsraelLobbyCon conference series at the National Press Club explores the latest research, innovations and tactics for countering the Israel lobby’s damaging policies in the U.S. and around the globe.
Alice Rothchild is a Boston-based physician, author and filmmaker who since 1997 has focused on human rights and social justice in the Israel/Palestine conflict. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a degree in psychology and studied medicine at Boston University, followed by a medical internship at Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx, and an obstetrics and gynecology residency at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. Her early political interests involved opposing the Vietnam War, and working for women’s reproductive rights and health care reform. She was involved in the first edition of Our Bodies Ourselves and practiced ob-gyn for over 30 years in the Boston area. Until her recent retirement she served as a Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology at Harvard University’s Faculty of Medicine.
In 2003 Dr. Rothchild began co-organizing health and human rights delegations to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. She writes and lectures widely and is the author of Broken Promises, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and Resilience (Pluto Press, 2007, second edition 2010, translated into German and Hebrew), and On the Brink: Israel and Palestine on the Eve of the 2014 Gaza Invasion (Just World Books, 2014). She directed a powerful documentary film, “Voices Across the Divide,” which premiered at the 2013 Boston Palestine Film Festival.
Dr. Rothchild was named one of ten “Jewish Women to Watch” by Jewish Women International, and has won numerous awards. She is an active member of Jewish Voice for Peace, American Jews for a Just Peace, Workmen’s Circle Mideast Working Group, and the Gaza Mental Health Program.
The conference is solely sponsored by the American Educational Trust, publisher of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep).
