Panel and Discussion:
Jewish Voices Say End the Israeli Occupation of Palestine

As Americans are becoming more aware of the imbalance of power in Israel and Palestine, many American Jews are speaking out to oppose Israel's military occupation of Palestinian territory and the U.S. government's support and financing of that occupation.
In the face of accusations of anti-Semitism and even personal attack, these Jewish peacemakers courageously offer an alternative voice. Following their conscience, they raise their voice for justice for the Palestinians in order to move toward a future of peace and reconciliation.
Hear the stories of four Boston-area Jewish peace activists - how they came to oppose Israel's policy of occupation - and the impact their decision has had on their lives:
Marty Federman, Co-Chair, Boston Chapter, Jewish Voice for Peace,
Ted German, Member, WCES' Justice with Peace Task Force,
Eva Moseley, Board Member, Massachusetts Peace Action, and
Abby Yanow, Co-Founder, Israel-Palestine Task Force of United for Justice with Peace; Member, Jewish Voice for Peace.
Parking & Public Transportation - If you are driving, there is a parking lot to the left of the church and on- street parking on the side opposite the church. For public transportation, take the #71 bus from Harvard Square; the stop is in front of the church, across the street from Starbucks.
All of this presupposes that by admitting guilt (real or imagined -- emphasis on the latter) and giving concessions, the enemy will say, "Oh, alright then, we're done." As though all they care about is a few square miles of dirt, rather than what they repeatedly say they're all about, which is about having the whole shebang. All groups like JVP do is embolden the Jihad.
Marty Federman has "graced" our pages a number of times, most recently sneaking into Israel with an anti-Israel brigade and leading an "Israel the Apartheid State" stage show on the Sabbath. And Eva Moseley has about as much of a Jewish identity as my cat. Correction, my cat actually likes Jews.
