Jeanne Trabulsi: ”The fight against Israeli propaganda in Virginia textbooks” IsraelLobbyCon 2022

The following is a presentation made at the 2022 Transcending the Israel lobby at Home & Abroad conference held on March 4 at the National Press Club.

Jeanne Trabulsi, coordinator of the Virginia Coalition for Human Rights education committee, reveals how Israeli affinity organizations insert Israeli propaganda into textbooks behind the scenes. She outlines the role of the Institute for Curriculum Studies, an entity housed inside an Israeli public relations organization. Finally, she reveals how VCHR has pushed back so that ICS recommendations were not included in textbook updates while outlining strategies other state human rights groups can take to preserve the quality of textbooks. 

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. See https://www.IsraelLobbyCon.org for more information.
