A Fatal Attraction: Colonialism and Apartheid - June 16, 2020

An online webinar in lieu of our luncheon at the Presbyterian General Assembly. Rashid Khalid is Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University. Prof. Khalidi received his BA from Yale in 1970, and his D.Phil. from Oxford in 1974. He is editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies, and was President of the Middle East Studies Association, and an advisor to the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid and Washington Arab-Israeli peace negotiations from October 1991 until June 1993.

On Professor Khalidi's 2020 book, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine, A History of Settler C olonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017:

"A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history.

"...Original, authoritative, and important, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day."

She has served as a community builder in Palestinian society, advocating for a just peace and empowering women and the community through skill development and spirituality. Born in Jerusalem, she describes herself as a Palestinian Christian who became a refugee in her own city, divided after the establishment of the Israeli State. Read more at link.

Alex Awad (Palestine, 2018) served as Dean of Students and full-time instructor at Bethlehem Bible College in Bethlehem where he served on the faculty for 24 years. He is a charter member of the college’s Board of Directors and served for years as senior pastor at East Jerusalem Baptist Church. He is a past board member of the Evangelical Local Council of Churches in the Holy Land, and directed the Shepherd Society, Bethlehem Bible College’s charitable ministry.

The money behind the anti-BDS groups within U.S. Churches

These clips from a behind-closed-doors event reveal who has been training and funding Presbyterians -and other denominations- to fights BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) within their churches.

Ethan Felson of Israel Action Network: “We got involved with all of the churches asking them what was going on and every single one of them was ready to move with divestment. Groups associated with Sabeel had taken over… literally taken over and were the majority in every Middle East Peace and Justice Committee that operated within these churches, and the Presbyterians were the obvious first place to go…”

Mr. Felson speaks about their "theory of action" and how they work within "mostly progressive communities to help THEM shape the right messages and to give them 'the infrastructure' to do the work to counter delegitimization."

Israel Action Network's opaque lobbying and funding is a big reason our road to divestment took 10 years.
