Palestine - Beyond the headlines next Saturday (January 16th) in London



Green Left and Socialist Resistance are co-organising a seminar studying the causes of the Palestine conflict, with an emphasis on frequently ignored issues. Speakers include Gilbert Achcar (Eastern Cauldon, The Clash of Barbarisms) and Joel Kovel (Overcoming Zionism, The Enemy of Nature).

I will be chairing one of the sessions. A year after Gaza and with Israel/Palestine still at the heart of the whole Middle East conflict, this seminar is well worth attending.

Leaflets are online at http://bit.ly/27Dcwa. The event will be held on Saturday 16 January at Friends House, opposite London Euston station, from 10.30am to 5pm. Registration will open at 10am.



Workshops planned will include:



Zionism and the ecological catastrophe in Palestine;

Gender in Palestine;


Palestinian Refugees and the Right to Return;


Palestinian trade unions;


Land and water in Palestine;


Revolutionary struggle and national liberation;


Building direct solidarity;


Does the Zionist lobby control US polcy?
