Important information for ICAHD UK members on the upcoming AGM and EGM.
The talk has been booked up but we suspect that many of the bookings are false as we have been targeted by Israel lobby groups and we recognize quite a few false bookings. If you want to take part in the event, please email us ASAP at info@icahduk.org and we will make sure you will be let in.
Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions UK (ICAHD-UK), National Education Union – NUT Section and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign are proud to co-host Haggai Matar, the Executive Director of +972, for a talk on Israel and the Palestinians two years into the Trump administration era.
Things are changing rapidly in Israel-Palestine.
Donald Trump has abandoned any pretext of neutrality in Israel's conflict with the Palestinians. His administration has modeled much its foreign policy on Israeli priorities, handing Netanyahu a series of unprecedented victories – on Palestinian refugees, Jerusalem, the two states solution, and the mere recognition of a legitimate, representative Palestinian leadership – pushing the peace process back by some thirty years.
With a decades-old status quo upended, what is happening now on the ground? How are Israelis reacting to these changes? And most importantly: how can the British solidarity movement effectively counter the Trump-Netanyahu alliance?
Free entry, but booking is essential to secure a place!
Haggai Matar is the Executive Director of 972 – Advancement of Citizen Journalism, an Israeli non-profit organisation, committed to human rights, democracy, social justice and ending the Israeli occupation. The non-profit organisation publishes two independent media outlets: +972 Magazine (972mag.com ), operating in English since 2010, and Local Call, operating in Hebrew since 2014, and co-published with Just Vision.
Haggai is an award-winning journalist and political activist. Before his current position he was a co-founding editor of Local Call, a blogger on +972 Magazine, and had written for Ha'aretz, The Forward and other outlets. Haggai is also a board member of the Journalists' Union in Israel, and was head of the Ma'ariv Journalists' Committee.
In 2002, Haggai was imprisoned for two years for refusing Israeli military conscription. Since then, he has been active in various anti-occupation organizations, labor unions, educational activities and initiatives for peace, equality and social justice in Israel-Palestine.
