Beyond the Rhetoric

What everyone needs to know about current realities of the Israeli Occupation and prospects for a just resolution in Palestine

A public lecture with Bekah Wolf, International Coordinator and co-Founder of the Palestine Solidarity Project (PSP), a Palestinian organization  based in the village of Beit Ommar, dedicated to supporting popular, unarmed resistance to the occupation.

Tuesday, November 17th
7:00 pm
Koffler Auditorium, Room 108
569 Spadina Ave. (South of Harbord St.)

While the White House pays increasing attention to a 'Middle East Peace Process' and Israeli politicians use every delay tactic in their arsenal, the
reality of the ongoing Israeli Occupation has been all but lost in sound bites and empty propaganda. Bekah Wolf is an American with Israeli citizenship who has worked in the Occupied Palestinian Territories since 2003 and has lived in the Occupied West Bank for the past 3 years.

Wolf is speaking on behalf of the Palestine Solidarity Project committee, a group of Palestinian men and women (all of whom were prevented from traveling to the United States and Canada to speak themselves), including her husband and recent political prisoner, Mousa Abu Maria.

Wolf offers an eyewitness' account and critical analysis of the realities of Israeli occupation in 2009, locating these realities in an international
context, especially with regards to the recent UN fact-finding mission headed by international jurist Richard Goldstone, the prospects for renewed three-party negotiations, and the upsurge in the international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaigns.
