EVENT DETAILS
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7:00 pm
MSU Natural Science Bldg, Room 116
Michigan State University Campus
East Lansing, Michigan
Wolf’s lecture is titled, “Beyond the Rhetoric: What everyone needs to know about current realities of the Israeli Occupation and prospects for a just resolution in Palestine”
The PSP describes Wolf’s speaking the event as such:
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 and the prospects for renewed three-party negotiations.
