After Israel’s murderous attack on the Gaza flotilla, and worldwide condemnation and protest (including in Egypt) – which helped force open the Rafah crossing – it is now even more urgent that we de-legitimise all Zionist institutions.
At short notice, the INTERNATIONAL JEWISH ANTI-ZIONIST NETWORK invites you to hear:
Prof Uri Davis
Stop the JNF
7-9pm, Tuesday, 8 June 2010

Uri Davis, born in Jerusalem in 1943, has been at the forefront of the defence of human rights, notably of Palestinian rights inside and outside the State of Israel.
He was a refusenik in the early 1960s, and subsequently a key academic/activist opposing Israeli apartheid, in particular the Jewish National Fund (JNF). Dr Davis is the only person of Jewish and European origin on Fatah’s Revolutionary Council, its legislative body.
His books include, Israel: An Apartheid State and Apartheid Israel: Possibilities for the Struggle Within, Zed Books, London 1987 & 2003 respectively.
Preparing to launch:
Stop the JNF: Stop Greenwashing Apartheid
This campaign will: expose the JNF’s long involvement in ethnic cleansing; protest and disrupt its activities; oppose its charitable status in the UK and over 50 other countries; support the campaign to resist JNF’s forced displacement of Palestinian people, including Bedouin, in the Naqab (Negev) and Galilee; urge organisations, especially with environmental & anti-racist mandates, to break ties with, and oppose, the JNF.
Published this week: Volume 2 of JNF: Colonising Palestine since 1901 – Preparing for legal Action: Focus Canada Park edited by Prof Uri Davis, assisted by Mortaza Sahibzada.
