Halla Ide, Thomas Street, Limerick.
Israeli Commitee Against House Demolitions (ICHAD) Advocacy Officer, Angela Godfrey-Goldstein will show a short documentary film about the Israeli occupation and will answer questions from the audience after her talk. ICAHD is a non-violent, direct-action group originally established to oppose and resist Israeli demolition of Palestinian houses in Palestine. ICHAD have been to the fore in campaigning to protect Palestinian homes from demolition and have organised and helped with the reconstruction of homes demolished by the Israeli occupation forces.
ICAHD is comprised of members of many Israeli peace and human rights organizations. Since its founding, ICAHD's activities have extended to three interrelated spheres: resistance and protest actions in the Occupied Territories; efforts to bring the reality of the Occupation to Israeli society; and mobilizing the international community for a just peace.

Jump To Comment: 1I have been in many places in the ME, sometimes with, sometimes without a passport if you get what I mean. What we are witnessing is not the Pals survival struggle. They will survive as part of the Arab umma, whatever happens. What is in doubt is the survival of the Jewish people. If Israel goes down, so will they and 3k years of history with it.
I write not for the hatefilled pro Pal bigots on this site. There is no point. If I say black, they automatically just say white. I write for those with an open mind who may just for once be prepared to see things from a Jewish/Israeli perspective. Just try and make a leap of imagination and see things from a different perspective, from our perspective, even though you can't understand our language or culture and know very little about them...Jews and Israelis are not the monsters we are made out to be.
