As part of our involvement in the Protect The Harvest coalition, UK Friends of Standing Together invites you to meet two British activists from Achvat Amim (Solidarity of Nations, Israeli led organisation) and International Solidarity Movement (Palestinian led organisation) to discuss their involvement in "protective presence" activity in the occupied West Bank.
Daniel Mautner and Beau Elijah Sebastian (bios below) will discuss:
- Settler/state violence in the West Bank and the responses to it by the IDF, Israeli politicians, and Israeli civil society.
- The Protect the Harvest coalition, and protective presence as means to combat settler violence.
- The response of the international community to settler violence: what can be useful and what distracts from bringing about a change?
The event will feature presentations from the speakers, followed by an opportunity for questions and comments. Please register to attend.
Venue location will be sent upon registration.
