New Hampshire travel office promotes event, on Yom Kippur, with anti-genocide group that defends 'Palestine'

The New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs website is promoting an online “peace and justice” event focused on “U.S. militarism and racism.” The event, scheduled for 7-8 p.m. on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, features speakers Flor Saldivar and Kathleen Chandler from Women United Against Genocide. This group states its aims include “defending Palestine” and addressing issues such as “missing and murdered women, immigrant rights, and opposing international human rights abuses.” The Yom Kippur fast ends at 7:27 p.m., placing the event in the middle of the holy day.
