LAST WEDNESDAY FORUM

The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD),

together with its outreach center Daila



invite you to their next English-language monthly lecture and discussion series in the “Last Wednesday Forum.”

The forum is intended to strengthen the dialogue between representatives of the international community and important voices within the critical peace and human rights community in Israel – voices of Israeli NGOs, activist groups and academics seldom heard in official dialogue. The lecture/discussion will be held at the Daila Center on Wednesday, 26th March, at 7:30 PM.

Jeff Halper, Director, The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, will speak on:

"Why Don’t Israelis Get It?

How an Open Society Fosters Uniformity of Thought"



Israel is an open society with a multitude of unmitigated sources of information: respected academic institutions, public libraries for an educated population, access to a free press, the internet, global television and cinema, not to mention masses of Israelis constantly travelling abroad and foreign visitors coming to Israel . Why, then, do large proportions of the Israeli public share broadly similar opinions about the possibility of peace and reject any critical views to the contrary.

Jeff Halper, an anthropologist, is the Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). A resident of Israel for the past 35 years, he worked as a community worker in the poor Mizrahi Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem . After doing research among the Jews of Ethiopia in the 1960s, he served as the Chairman of the Israeli Committee for Ethiopian Jews. He has taught at Haifa and Ben Gurion Universities as well as in universities abroad. He is the author of Between Redemption and Revival: The Jewish Yishuv in Jerusalem in the Nineteenth Century (Westview, 1991) and Obstacles to Peace. His new book, An Israeli in Palestine, is published by Pluto Press ( London , 2008). Jeff Halper was nominated by the American Friends Service Committee for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, together with the Palestinian intellectual and activist Ghassan Andoni.

The Daila Center www.daila.net is located at Shlomzion Hamalka Street 4, opposite the Ministry of Interior in West Jerusalem . Donations at the door are welcome.

Bash Back! Memphis

--- PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY---

Calling All Radical Trannies, Queers, Anarcha-feminists and Allies,

In 2004 the party conventions were nothing more than disempowering for queers and transfolk. Boston turned out a large, festive, yet nearly invisible queer kiss-in. The Gays Against Bush Contingent of the UFPJ march in NYC was hurried to the cattle pens and filled its place at the very end of a 500,000+ person march. Queer Fist's Queer Kiss-in saw extreme police brutality and the arrests of nearly everyone involved. If radical Trans-Folk, Queers and Allies are to confront the oppression we face on a daily basis in the streets from Memphis to Denver to Minneapolis/St. Paul we must learn from the past, plug into the pre-existing overall strategies and be prepared to Bash Back!

Bash Back! is a newly formed group of radical TransFolk, Queers, Anarcha-Feminists and allies (that started in Chicago). Bash Back! Chicago's current focus is hosting a Convergence in April to facilitate radical Queer and Trans organizing against the Party Conventions. Bash Back! Chicago is anticipating that the Convergence will play an essential role in action planning and give us a solid grip on the presence Radical Queers and TransFolk will have at the Conventions this summer. By organizing against the conventions we all hope to pave the way for a long lasting network of radical Transfolk, Queers and Anarcha-Feminists. Bash Back! Chicago folks encourage all like minded radical TransFolk and Queers in other cities to form their own Chapter of Bash Back! and are calling for Trans-Folk, Queers, Anarcha-Feminists, and Allies to join in Chicago April 5th and 6th.

As well as strategy sessions, the weekend of April 5th will include workshops, a large party/show/fundraiser, and a rowdy yet fabulous action. Bash Back! is committed to providing safe housing and food to out of town attendees throughout the weekend. With any luck the Chicago convergence will be just as smashing as the Sweaty Southern Queer and Trans Convergence in the Spring of 2006.

Bash Back! Memphis will be having two interest meetings in March for interested folks at the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center.
Possible topics for discussion:
- transportation to the Bash Back! conference in Chicago
- radical organizing and networking in the Memphis area
- crashing the Democratic and Republican Conventions this summer
