Before his three daughters were killed in January 2009 during the Israeli incursion into Gaza, Dr. Abuelaish worked as a researcher at the Gertner Institute at the Sheba Hospital in Tel Aviv.
Abueaish has been an important figure in the Israeli-Palestinian relations for years, working in Israeli hospitals, treating Israeli and Palestinian patients and fully believe that health is an engine in the peace journey. This horrific tragedy did not harden Abuelaish’s heart; neither did it weaken his resolve to act for humanity. He continues to live up the description bestowed upon him by an Israeli colleague, as a magical, secret bridge between Israelis and Palestinians.

6th Annual Israeli Apartheid Week - March 4-11, 2010 - MontrealFrançais Join us and over 40 cities around the world this year in marking the 6th annual Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW). IAW is a week of lectures, workshops, film screenings, and cultural events to educate about Israel/Palestine, and also to give momentum to the growing campaign of Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israeli apartheid. Events in Montreal will take place at UQAM, Concordia, McGill, and other locations around the city. Full schedule of events is below! -->See the online trailer **FULL EVENT SCHEDULE** March 4 | March 5 | March 7 | March 8 | March 9 | March 10 | March 11 * Thursday March 4 - "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions: Celebrating the successes and overcoming the challenges of the BDS Movement against Israeli Apartheid"
- Mcgill University 3480 University Street McConnel Engineering Rm 204
- 6:30pm
- Featured speakers: Kate Raphael (Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism, San Francisco), Shadi Rohana (Alternative Information Centre, Jerusalem), Dave Bleakney (Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Ottawa), introduced by Nina Amrov (SPHR)
- To kick off the 2010 Israeli Apartheid Week in Montreal, this panel will feature presentations from four grassroots activists working on various aspects of the BDS Movement Against Israeli Apartheid. Drawing on both local and international examples of academic, labour, cultural, and consumer boycott campaigns, the speakers will discuss some of the successes of the movement so far, as well as challenges faced, and highlight the strategies of where to go from here.
* Friday, March 5 - "Exposing Israeli Apartheid: Lessons From South Africa to Palestine"
- Mcgill University, McConnell engineering building, 3480 University Street, room 204
- 6:30pm
- Featured Speakers: Noura Erakat (US Campaign to end the Occupation), Na'eem Jeenah (South African anti-apartheid activist), introduced by Tala Al-Jabri (SPHR-McGill)
- This talk will explore the apartheid analysis and why the framework can be fittingly applied to Israeli colonialism, racism, and occupation. Through the lessons and experiences of South Africa, the speakers will explore the similarities and differences between the two contexts and speak in depth about Israeli Apartheid in order to expose the systemic racism and colonialism faced by all Palestinians, whether inside Israel proper, in the occupied territories, or as part of the largest refugee population in the world. The speakers will also talk about lessons and strategies from the international movement of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against South African apartheid and discuss how they can be applied to the current BDS movement for Palestine.
* Sunday, March 7 - "Resisting Apartheid from Turtle Island to Palestine: Indigenous youth speak out!"
- UQAM, 400 Ste-Catherine east, AM-050
- 3:00pm
- Featured Speakers: Melissa Franklin, Marei Spaola, Jodi Voice (7th Generation Indigenous Visionaries, Kansas)
- From reservations to refugee camps, and from manifest destiny to Zionism, racist apartheid practices are carried out not only in Israel, but also right inside Turtle Island (“North America”). However, just as Palestinians rose up over the last decade during the Second Intifadah, indigenous communities have been engaged in their own Intifadah (“shaking off”) against settler colonialism since the arrival of Columbus on these shores, and it is an Intifadah which continues until today.
During the summer of 2009, a group of 18 Native and Xicana youth from the United States/Turtle Island will travelled to the Occupied West Bank and Israel to connect with Palestinian youth and to collectively imagine a more just future for all indigenous peoples.
The Indigenous Youth Delegation to Palestine, the first of its kind, is a project of grassroots organizations in both the U.S. and Palestine who have come together with the purpose of connecting Native and Xicana youth in the U.S with youth in Palestine. By creating a forum to reflect together and to share common struggles, this cross-continental exchange was an opportunity for youth to learn first hand from each other by sharing tools and strategies of resistance against displacement and colonization. Melissa Franklin, Marei Spaola, and Jodi Voice were members of the delegation, and they are all part of the 7th Generation Indigenous Visionaries (7thGIV), a grassroots collective at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas, where they currently study. This presentation will also feature photos and clips from a video documentary that 7th GIV is working on about the delegation.

- "Checkpoint Rock"/Fermin Muguruza / Spain-Palestine / 2009 / 73 min
A journey through one of the regions which is always in the glare of the world's media, yet one which few of us really know. What is the music that forms the backing track of this mythical place? What are its most iconic musicians and how do they live? What do they think of the unique conditions in which they live and how is that reflected in their lyrics and their melodies? From the neon and the billboards of Tel Aviv to the poverty and desperation of the occupied territories of the West Bank and the vast concentration camp the Gaza strip has become, in this "Checkpoint Rock" we will share with very different musicians, going from town to town and from checkpoint to checkpoint, in a journey that will change the way we see this people in conflict and also the way we see ourselves. Co-presented with Cinema Politica and Tadamon. For more info, see www.cinemapolitica.org/concordia
* Tuesday, March 9 * Wednesday, March 10 - "Between Oppression and Empowerment: Palestinian citzens of Israel under apartheid"

- 7:00pm
- Featured Speakers: Jamal Zahalka (Palestinian-Israeli member of the Knesset), introduced by Kawtare Bihya (CJP-UQAM) and Jihad El-Salah (SPHR-Concordia)
- Dr. Zahalka’s lecture will explore how apartheid operates within the state of Israel through the systemic racism and exclusion of its indigenous Palestinian citizens which is built into the very fabric of so-called Israeli democracy. By highlighting the oppressive realities faced by Palestinian-Israelis, such as continued evictions and house demolitions, the attack on Palestinian political organizing, a lack of access to land, water and other basic social services, and a two-tiered education system, Zahalka will expose the true nature of Israeli apartheid inside ‘48.
* Thursday, March 11 - "Speak Up for Palestine!" Cultural event
- Club Lambi, 4465 St-Laurent blvd.
- 8pm, $10-15 (Venue not wheelchair accessible)

- Heure : 15h00
- Conférenciers: Melissa Franklin, Marei Spaola, Jodi Voice (7th Generation Indigenous Visionaries, Kansas, E.U.)
- Des réserves aux camps de réfugiés, et du manifeste du destin sioniste, les pratiques apartheid racistes sont entreprises non seulement en Israël, mais également à l'intérieur de l'Île de la Tortue (Amérique du Nord). Pendant que les palestiniens ont lancé leur deuxième intifada la décennie dernière, les peuples autochtones luttaient déjà contre le colonialisme depuis l'arrivée de Columbus sur ces rives, et c'est une intifada qui continue jusqu'à ce jour.
Au cours de l'été 2009, un groupe de 18 jeunes autochtones et Xicana en provenance des États-Unis / Île de la Tortue, se sont rendus en Cisjordanie occupée et en Israël pour rencontrer les jeunes palestiniens afin d'imaginer collectivement un avenir plus juste pour tous les peuples autochtones du monde. La Délégation jeunesse autochtone à la Palestine, la première à jamais avoir été initiée, est un projet formé par des organisations de base à la fois aux États-Unis et en Palestine qui cible à réunir les jeunesses autochtone et Xicana des États-Unis avec celle de la Palestine. Ce forum d'échange et de partage transcontinental a permis aux jeunes d'apprendre de première main entre eux en termes d'outils et de stratégies de résistances contre les déplacements et la colonisation tout en se basant sur leurs luttes communes. Melissa Franklin, Marei Spaola, et Jodi Voice étaient membres de la délégation et ils font tous partie de la 7e génération autochtones Visionaries (7th GIV), une base collective au Haskell Indian Nations University au Kansas où ils étudient actuellement. Cette présentation comportera également des photos et des clips à partir d'un documentaire vidéo que le 7th GIV produit à propos de la délégation.

- Conférenciers: Jamal Zahalka (Palestinien-israélien membre du Knesset), introduction par Kawtare Bihya (Coalition pour la Justice en Palestine-UQÀM) and Jihad El-Salah (SDHP-Concordia)
- La conférence du Dr. Zahalka explorera comment l’apartheid opère à l’intérieur d’Israël à travers ses politiques de racisme et d’exclusion sociale de sa population citoyenne autochtone palestinienne formant la soi-disant « démocratie israélienne ». En soulignant les réalités de l’oppression rencontré par les israéliens-palestiniens, tels que les expulsions et les démolitions des maisons continues, l’attaque sur les organisations politiques palestiniennes, les restrictions sur l’accès à des terres, l’eau et autres services sociaux de base, Zahalka exposera la nature véritable de l’apartheid israélien dans les frontières de 1948.

Montreal, Quebec This evening comes as part of the ongoing "Artists Against Apartheid" concert series. The Artists Against Apartheid series is part of the the international campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israeli apartheid. concert featuring DAM DAM, the celebrated Palestinian hip-hop ensemble from Lyd, Palestine, features Suhell Nafar, Tamer Nafar and Mahmoud Jreri. DAM emerged in the late 1990s and combines Arabic percussion rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies and urban hip-hop beats. DAM’s lyrics are rooted in the Palestinian struggle for freedom and equality, addressing the social realities of Palestinian life from drugs to gender equality. In 2001, DAM’s most well-known track, Min Irhabi (Who’s the Terrorist?), was downloaded over 1 million times within the first month of its release on the group’s celebrated album of the same name. 
DAM’s music is gaining popularity around the world and is strongly rooted in the growing international movement against Israeli apartheid. www.myspace.com/damrap Narcicyst Yassin Alsalman, the celebrated Iraqi MC known as the Narcicyst, mixes unique beats with smart, socially-conscious lyrics, weaving a complex narrative that spans the Arab and Western world. Alsalman is originally from Basra, Iraq, was raised in Dubai and is now living in Montreal. The Narcicyst’s recently released self-titled studio album, is catching attention around the globe. P.H.A.T.W.A., the album’s first single, was accompanied by a flashy music video which chronicles Alsalman’s experience with a post-9/11 U.S. border interrogation when he attempted to travel to New York City for a concert. Alsalman has shared the stage with hip-hop luminaries such as Talib Kweli, Kanye West, A-Trak and Dead Prez and his work has been covered widely in the press both in North America and the Middle East. www.narcy.net This is the ninth Artists Against Apartheid concert occurring within the international campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israeli apartheid. * Tadamon!

As one of the founders of Women In Black, she will also discuss solidarity organizing with Palestinians as a personal and political journey, and will be looking at the current situation in the occupied territories, focusing on aftermath of the Gaza Disengagement. |

 photographs from occupied Palestine / photographies de la Palestine occup?e
29-30 novembre et 1 d?cembre. JA de S?ve, 320 Ste-Catherine. 10h00 - 17h00
Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al - M?tro Berri-UQAM
Le photographe montr?alais Darren Ell a voyag? partout en Palestine en 2002 et en 2003. Ses photographies ? portraits, paysages menac?s et lieux intimes qui hantent le spectateur ? traitent de l?impact et de la port?e de l?occupation isra?lienne, qui en d?pit des n?gociations et ententes depuis 1991, entre dans sa 38i?me ann?e. Le titre de l?exposition, Twice Removed (?deux fois exil?s?) rev?t une signification particuli?rement importante : encore une fois, des Palestiniens perdent leurs maisons et leur terres. Les d?molitions de maisons ont laiss? des dizaines de milliers de Palestiniens sans logement ; la destruction et la confiscation de terres resultant de la construction par Isra?l du mur de s?paration a pour cons?quences l?emprisonnement et l?appauvrissement d?un people entier, auquel il ne reste que 12% de la Palestine historique. ? ne pas manquer, cette exposition ? forte valeur ?ducative qui explore les questions fondamentales de cette longue trag?die. En 2004, Twice Removed a remport? le ?Prize for Contemporary Issues? et le ?Heather Walker Memorial Scholarship? ? l?Universit? Concordia.

Monday, October 24, 7:15 PM

 SPHR would like to invite you to its annual cultural event featuring a play and dabkeh performance. This year the show is named "Behind Bars". It is an Arabic play about a Palestinian prisoner who reflects on the realities of his life in and out of "prison". The play is written, directed and produced by students from SPHR's branches in Montreal. Dabkeh which is the traditional folkloric dance of Palestine, will be presented during the play. The dabkeh will be performed by the Montreal student dakeh group Jabal Al-Nar. During the event an exhibition outside the hall depicting some of the late Naji Al-Ali's caricatures will be presented.

 SPHR at Queens University presents the documentary movie "Palestine is Still the Issue", a 2002 film by award-winning journalist and film-maker John Pilger. In 1977, Pilger made a documentary of the same name, in which he told how almost one million Palestinians had been forced off their land in 1948, and again in 1967. In this in-depth documentary, he returns to the West Bank, Gaza and Israel, to ask why the Palestinians still live in an indeterminate state, despite having their right of return affirmed by the United Nations more that 50 years ago..

 Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights is forming a coalition of different activist groups to hold an event on September 27th in the city of Ottawa, in commemoration of the Sabra & Shatila massacre that took place in 1982. The goal of this event is to raise awareness about the plight of the Palestinian people as well as to call for the right of return and proper compensation for the refugees and an end to The Occupation. The two day event will begin with kiosks lined up alongside Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill, in which all the participating organizations may take part. On the second day, a demonstration would assemble on Parliament Hill where people would chant slogans and hear speeches. During this time, a concert by English and French Canadian as well as Palestinian artists would be held. The second day would end with a candlelight vigil where people would be able to plant a candle on the lawn of Parliament Hill in protest of the loss of innocent Palestinian lives. The target number is around 2000 candles. |
