We will be able to engage with Ilan Pappe over zoom. He is a Jewish Israeli historian who has investigated the Israeli lobby and its 100 year campaign to silence voices for Palestinian human rights.

We’ll talk with General Council staff about United Church policy including the arms embargo campaign.

We will learn about Zionism, Antisemitism and Islamaphobia.

We will learn about what it means to become an Apartheid-free church.

And we will come away with a better understanding of international law and the impact on Canada of the International Court of Justice recent opinion.

We’ll meet amazing people from across Canada who are committed to acting for Palestinian human rights.
