The St. Paul Pioneer Press recently published an opinion piece by Lisa Albrecht, Ph.D., associate professor in the School of Social Work, on the fighting in Gaza. It begins,
"As a Jew and citizen of the U.S., I am outraged, sick to my stomach, and aching in my heart. First, I say that it is not anti-American to criticize the U.S. government, just as it does not signify Jew-hatred to criticize the Israeli government.
Second, I say that there is not one monolithic Jewish community or voice in the world, the U.S., or Minnesota, though mainstream Jewish organizations that are pro-Israel get the most media coverage." Read the full editorial.
Albrecht has also been interviewed by WCCO TV, Kare 11and Fox 9 for her views on the Gaza crisis.
