Speaking Tour: Israeli Pro-Palestinian activist and member of ‘Anarchists Against the Wall’

7pm Friday 16/3 @ MAC, 62 St Georges Rd, Northcote

Speaking about her experiences on the front lines of the fight for Palestinian rights. Do not miss this opportunity to hear a progressive voice from inside Israel, against the oppression of the Palestinian people.

Deeply involved in the day to day struggle against the apartheid wall being built by the Israeli government since 2003, Anarchists Against the Wall (AAtW) maintain an anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist and anti-state perspective on the conflict. (You've heard about the one-state solution and the two-state solution; let's talk about the no-state solution.) AAtW define themselves as primarily a direct-action group, and "has left propaganda and the drawing of party lines to others". More information about AATW can be found here: http://awalls.org/about_aatw

Organised as part of Israeli Apartheid Week March 19-24 by Students for Palestine. The speaking tour includes:
