Virtual Q&A Discussion of 4 Short Films about Oppression and Violence in the West Bank

Time:
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

Location Details:

With the world’s attention focused on Israel’s “War on Gaza” it is easy to overlook increased Israeli military actions and growing settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. More than 700,000 Israeli settlers live in 279 illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank, including 14 in occupied East Jerusalem. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli military and settler attacks have killed more than 320 Palestinians.

Voices from the Holy Land (VFHL) offers four short videos revealing what it's like for Palestinians to live under occupation in the West Bank, the plight of families who have fled, the arguments of Israelis who want to empty this occupied land of Palestinians, and what the international community might do to stem the violence.

Watch the films at your convenience before the event. Then join us with your thoughts and questions for our speakers at the Q&A Discussion on Sunday February 18, 2024 at 12pm PT.

Speakers:
- Michael Lynk – Associate Professor of Law at Western University, former UNHCR Special Rapporteur for Palestinian territories
- Omar Haramy - Director of Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem
- Tariq Hathaleen – Palestinian activist in the South Hebron Hills, and English teacher

Our moderator will be Ariel Gold, Executive Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation USA.
