London : A week of lectures on Israeli regime’s apartheid system is being held in London starting on February 11 as part of a series of events to mark 60 years of Palestinian dispossession.
Issues being discussed include the role of the media in normalizing Israeli Apartheid and how the Israeli media report the Middle east conflict and portray images of Palestinian citizens as well as the complicity of Europe’s media.
Other subjects include Zionism and violence, the dynamic of Israeli war crimes and the way semitism and the Palestinians are presented.
There is also an examination of Israelis laws as mechanisms of violence against the Palestinians and the visible as well as invisible aspects of Israel’s apartheid system.
The lectures are being organized by Nakba60 in association with the Palestine society at the School of Oriental and African Studies and nearby London School of Economics, where they are being held.
Nakba60 is a London-based campaigning organisation set up to commemorate sixty years of the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe) following the illegal creation of the Israeli state in 1948.
It is organizing a series of cultural and educational events in the UK throughout 2008, involving prominent artists and intellectuals, exploring the silenced Palestinian narrative and historical experience of displacement and dispossession.
