AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Eyewitness Occupation: Report Back from Palestine/Israel

Wednesday, January 13, 2016, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Encuentro 5 • 9 Hamilton Place, suite 2a (near Park Street Station, downtown Boston) • Boston

In November 2015, as the media focused on an upsurge of violent attacks in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, several Massachusetts residents traveled to Israel and the occupied West Bank as part of an Interfaith Peace-Builders delegation.
What does nearly a half century of Israeli occupation look like on the ground? Where is the current dynamic of resistance and repression likely to lead? What hopes are there for peace with justice in the region?
The following IFPB delegates will share their impressions and experiences:
Ann Glick, United for Justice with Peace
Lauren Jappe, Jewish Voice for Peace - Boston
Duncan McFarland, United for Justice with Peace
Nancy Murray, Co-leader, IFPB delegation
Tali Ruskin, Jewish Voice for Peace - Boston
Sponsored by United for Justice with Peace. Co-sponsored by Boston Alliance for Water Justice, Boston Coalition for Palestinian Rights, Cambridge to Bethlehem People to People Project, Women's International League for Peace & Freedom - Boston
