Hosted by award-winning journalist and Jewish Council Advisory member Antony Loewenstein, this important briefing will feature representatives from B’Tselem, a leading human rights organisation in Israel-Palestine speaking about their new report on the systematic dismantling of Palestinian collective life in the West Bank.
The Elimination Project report looks at the current reality not as a collection of isolated incidents or specific harms, but as part of a comprehensive project of elimination that works to dismantle the conditions for continued Palestinian existence in the West Bank, while deepening Israeli control and supremacy in an irreversible manner.
Join us to hear from eyes on the ground in the West Bank for a discussion of what settler colonialism means in practice, and what the international community must do to avert Israel’s accelerating ethnic cleansing.
When: 14 October 12:30-1:30pm AEST
Where: Online on Zoom
