Jeff Halper in the UK

jeff

Greenbelt is supporting the speaking tour by the Israeli campaigner Jeff Halper of ICAHD throughout March. Jeff is in conversation with Dr Ghada Karmi, a leading Palestinian writer and academic, to discuss how boycotts and other sanctions can allow the public to have a direct involvement in a complex situation, and achieve concrete solutions – similar to those achieved by global action against South African apartheid.

They're speaking in Exeter, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bradford and London, and there are engagements in each that the public can attend. All dates are free entry. See below for dates and locations…

15 March – Exeter
6.30pm – Institute of Arabic & Islamic Studies Dept, University of Exeter – Streatham Campus

16 March – Birmingham
7.30pm – Birmingham Unite Offices, Broad Street

17 March – Glasgow
7.30pm – Boyd Orr Building, University of Glasgow

18 March – Edinburgh
7.30pm – Augustine Church, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh

19 March – Bradford
5.00pm – Bradford University

20 March – London
2.30pm – G2 Main Building, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)

It promises to be a fascinating and motivating set of discussions that allow a real insight into this challenging situation. We hope to have some audio and video content from Jeff and Ghada up on the Greenbelt site soon.
