Dr. Mustafa Barghouti - The Future of Palestine

Palestinian physician, activist, and politician, Mustafa Barghouti serves as General Secretary of the Palestine National Initiative. He was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by previous prize winner Mairead Maguire, and is also an advocate of nonviolent resistance against occupation. He has been a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council since 2006, is also a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Central Council, and has served as the President of the International People's Health Council.

After returning from Gaza in September 2014 following Israel's brutal 51-day assault, Dr. Barghouti said, "This inhumanity can't continue. There's only one way out - to establish boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel in order to dismantle this occupation and this apartheid."

July 9th is the 10th anniversary of Palestinian civil society's call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions; and the 11th anniversary of the International Court of Justice ruling against the Wall. Dr. Barghouti will speak about both of these -- as well as his trip to Gaza, settlement expansion, strategies for tomorrow (concerning Israel's even-more-right-wing-than-before government), and other facts on the ground. Don't miss it!
