[Aimee L Smith]

as part of the Boston Social Forum 
 
Genocide and Land Theft: the Unmentioned Roots of the Middle East Crisis

Friday, July 23, 4:30-6:30pm,  Wheatley 6, UMASS Boston 

Dr. Samia Halaby, Palestinian Artist born in al Quds (Jurusalem)
Author of "Liberation Art of Palestine", H.T.T.B. Publications.

Mr. Jawad Husein, Palestinian Human Rights Activist from the West Bank

Mr. Ben S., traveled to Palestine with the International Solidarity Movement

The process of genocide includes eliminating the perspectives of those
facing genocide from the political discourse. Corporate media perpetuates US
geopolitical aims, and thus Palestinian voices are all but absent while
Palestinians are routinely demonized as a "terrorist" people. Too often
progressive movements in the US are complicit in silencing Palestinians for
a variety of reasons, one of which is ignorance about the historical roots
of the conflict between indigenous Palestinians and Jews immigrating in from
Europe and other parts of the region. Come hear Palestinians teach about the
history of their people and the nature of the genocidal campaign they face.
Also hear from a North American activist who went to Palestine and
recognized his own country's genocidal past. Peace can only grow from
justice, and justice can only be sought through a clear understanding of the
historical roots of the conflict.
