Jeff Halper, a professor of anthropology at Ben Gurion
University, has been active in the Israeli peace
movement for many years. As the Coordinator of ICAHD,
he has forged a new mode of Israeli peace activity
based on non-violent direct action and civil
disobedience to the Israeli Occupation Authorities and
in close cooperation with Palestinian organizations.
Geared for activists, Jeff's talk will explore with
the audience the apparent end of the possibilities for
two-state solution and what is next. This will include
brainstorming and strategizing over future directions
and activities for human rights and peace activists.
