Talk and photographs from Palestine At Solidarity Books, 43 Douglas Street ( *** Tomorrow *** ) Sunday 20th May, 5.00pm

Resistance to the Israeli Occupation –nonviolent solidarity among Palestinians and Israelis.
What has been happening, why, what have activists been doing -analysis and update from Palestine and the Global March on Jerusalem.

Maxine Kaufmann-Lacousta: Canadian and Israeli, activist and writer, Maxine has been involved in activism for justice in Palestine and Israel, either part-time or fulltime most of her life. She has visited the area regularly for extended periods since the 60’s and lived in Jerusalem in the 80’s and 90’s, working with the Alternative Information Center. She saw the error of Zionism after her first visit to Israel as a teenager with a Zionist youth organization in 1960. She was instrumental in bringing about international support for the Jahalin Bedouin, fighting their cause in the courts and practically by staying with them, as protector and witness to threats from Israeli bulldozers.

This is a great opportunity to meet and discuss the issues with Maxine, and hear a presentation based on her book –that presents the story from 100 Palestinian and Israeli activists and their analysis -as well as an up-to-date report from last month. Though Maxine in realistic, her presentation is inspiring.

Copies of Maxine’s recent book Refusing to be Enemies - Palestinian and Israeli Nonviolent Resistance to the Israeli Occupation published by Ithaca Press (2011) will be available for sale.
