The Conference: Settler Colonialism in Palestine

Conference Settler Colonialism in Palestine 13 August 2016 in Edinburgh

BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) is how we work for effective solidarity with the Palestinian people. What, though are we up against? Is there any positive exit from the nightmare?

The pro-Israel event four days later claims Israel is a democratic formation and BDS campaigners are ‘anti-semitic’. Far from the truth, but
• what is Zionism and the state it founded, Israel?
• what are Palestinians fighting for their freedom fighting against?

The speakers are:

1. Mick Napier Introduction
2. Omar Barghouti via skype BDS and Israeli settler colonialism
3. Ben White via skype Resistance to settler colonial analysis
4. Mahmoud Zawahra Resistance to Israeli settler colonialism – an activist perspective
5. Kate Aspinwall, Sam Macartney, Mahmoud Zawahra Q&A
6. Ilan Pappe Israel, a settler colonial state
7. Sophia MacLeod … with a few last words
