Israel Committee Welcomes Guest Speaker: Lydia Aisenberg on the Jewish-Arab Center for Peace in Israel (off-site)

Created 01/17/2008 - 10:29am
Center for PeaceLydia Aizenberg has been giving tours of the "green line," "the fence," and what she calls "limboland" for Givat Haviva, Jewish - Arab Center for Peace in the Galilee, for the past decade. She will speak about the ongoing evolution of the Galilee as evidenced by Barta'a, a city split in half by the green line, closed off by Jordan in 1948, and then reopened in 1967. It now finds itself half in Palestinian Territory and half in Israel, where one can find Jewish Settlers and Palestinians living side by side. Come with your curiosity for a veteran Israeli activist and freelance journalist. It is crucial to  RSVP to the BK office by Friday 2/15.
