Resisting from within

A public meeting organised by York Palestine Solidarity Campaign
Clementhorpe Room, Priory Street Centre, York
Thursday 8th September, 7.30 pm

Anarchists Against the Wall is a group of Israeli activists who originally came together to work with Palestinians to oppose the land-grab represented by the Apartheid wall. They soon came to realise that the very presence of Israeli protesters significantly lowered the level of violence from the Israeli army, and offered a degree of protection to the Palestinians.
Although the Palestinians have paid the highest toll, the young Israeli anarchists have put themselves at considerable risk of injury, imprisonment and even death at the hands of the Israeli Defence Force.
A member of AAW is dropping by York PSC to will tell us of their part in the continuing struggle of Palestinians, Israelis and Internationals working together to end the occupation and injustice.

Israel has also seen major revolutionary stirrings in the past month: there has been a huge tent city movement which, although overtly aimed only at economic matters, and steering itself away from the occupation, is nonetheless having a powerful impact on Israeli attitudes; our guest may be able to tell us more about this, which has so far been little reported in UK press (though see this film from the Guardian).

Admission free, of course.
