Jeff Halper & Ghada Karmi
Israeli Apartheid: The Case For BDS
Jeff will describe the reality of the apartheid situation on the ground and the way that Palestinians are ‘warehoused’ in Gaza. He will discuss the global implications of allowing blatant violations of international law and universal human rights which contribute to increasing polarization between Arab countries and the West and resulting terrorism and security issues.
Ghada will speak about what is involved in boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) and the effectiveness of such a non-violent movement.
