CPWJ Introduces Its Fall Lecture Series:
 
Broadening US Perspectives on the Israel/Palestine Conflict
 
Dr. Stephen Sizer  - Sept 16-18
 
Nora Carmi - Sept 30 & Oct 1

Remembering the Nakba  
As Israel and many throughout the world celebrate the Birth of Israel, we believe it is important to reflect upon the circumstances under which Israel became a nation.  We must remember the 700,000 Palestinians who lost their homes, and the thousands who lost their lives, as Zionists expelled much of the indigenous population of Palestine to create a state of Jewish exclusivity.  Visit our Remembering the Nakba page for links to many educational resources.

An Israeli Jew in Gaza: A Statement by Jeff Halper
Jeff Halper, Founder of the Israeli Coalition Against House Demolitions, reflects on his reasons for joining activists from around the world on the Free Gaza Boats.  The SS Free Gaza and the SS Liberty will attempt to deliver much needed humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, although they anticipate interception by IDF forces. 

Recommended Viewing:
Land of the Settlers
Land of the Settlers is a five part documentary created by Chaim Yavin, famed Israeli news anchor.  In these two clips Hebron and Security Checkpoints, we see a glimpse of the powerful series which aired on Israeli Channel 2 in 2005, causing much controversy for its criticism of the settlements and Israeli settlers.

Recent CPWJ Activity
On August 5th over 20 supporters of the Coalition met for a social gathering at the Mediterranean Deli in Chapel Hill, sharing in dinner and conversation.  The evening's purpose was to recognize the work of Beth Houtrow and Gabrielle Tarrazi  and to welcome the new Administrative Coordinator, Stephen Barrington.  Unfortunately, Stephen and Gabrielle were unable to attend due to illness.  Due to the success of the event and the absence of the two of the guests of honor, CPWJ hopes to host another social event soon.

Deadline to Register: October 15
