Ali Abunimah in conversation with Antony Loewenstein
Gleebooks, 49 Glebe Point Rd, Glebe
May 15 marks the birth of Israel 60 years ago but it also marks the partition of Palestine. The carve-up left the indigenous Palestinians with 22 percent of their homeland. Most Palestinians were forced out of their land and ended in UN refugee camps. In 1967, Israel occupied the 22 percent left for the Palestinians and have been building settlements every year since. Ali Abunimah argues only one solution remains: a secular, democratic state in which Israelis and Palestinians have equal human rights, including one person/one vote.
He will be in conversation with Antony Loewenstein, the author of the bestseller My Israel Question which dissected the role of the Zionist lobby and skewered the mainstream narrative of Israel/Palestine. He is also the co-founder of Independent Australian Jewish Voices. Cost: $10/$7 - Bookings: 9660 2333 - More details here.
