A Palestinian activist and Dutch peace worker will provide a critical perspective on the Palestinian political establishment.
Once more a failed attempt of US secretary John Kerry to establish peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The devastating Gaza War and the proclamation of the largest expansion of settlements in the Jerusalem area in 30 years. It seems that a solution to a comprehensive peace is further away than ever. The whole world was watching this summer, but did these events have a changing effect on the understanding of the general public? Instead of letting Palestinians or Israelis advocate their side of the story, this lecture series will provide other perspectives. What is so special about the situation in Israel/Palestine? Is there room from criticism from within? Why do these atrocities carry on? And what can we, the general public, do about it?
