 As part of international Israeli Apartheid Week, Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights presents Jamal Zahalka. Dr. Jamal Zahalka is a Palestinian Israeli and member of the Israeli Knesset and will be speaking about the nature of Israeli apartheid in a lecture entitled "Debunking the Myth of Israeli Democracy". Date and Time :Thursday February 15th 2007@8:30pm
Location : Concordia University, Hall Building, H-937
As Israel and its global backers like Canada and the United States tighten the strangulation hold on the Palestinian people in an attempt to provoke Palestinian infighting; and while the Israeli military continues its brutal daily assault on Palestinian life, it is crucial that people in the rest of the world wake up to the apartheid nature of the Israeli state, and it is our collective responsibility to expose and isolate this regime until apartheid is dismantled.
The analysis of apartheid put forward during Israeli Apartheid Week in previous years has played an important role in raising awareness and disseminating information about Zionism, the Palestinian liberation struggle, as well as the connections with the Aboriginal sovereignty struggle on Turtle Island and the South African Anti-Apartheid movement. The analysis put forward in the week is spreading on a global scale, and this Israeli Apartheid Week is taking place simultaneously in Toronto, Montreal, New York, Oxford, Cambridge and London.
