That's some good speakers there. I see my buddy Ronnie Barkan is speaking too.

Tell Pilger I said hi.

I saw Ilan Pappe speak in NYC in the last year and enjoyed it, beyond all the seriousness, he was also amusing.

Yes. My wife and I went to a lecture at Essex University a few months ago during Israel Apartheid Week.

In the UK, student unions at Birkbeck, Brunel, Essex, Exeter, Goldsmiths, Kings College London, Kingston, Liverpool, SOAS, Strathclyde, Sussex, Swansea and University of Arts London, as well as the University of London student union, have backed boycotts of Israel. Several other unions have also endorsed divestment from G4S and other companies for their dealings with Israel. Last June, the National Executive Committee of the National Union of Students (NUS) endorsed BDS, joining the NUS Women Conference, Postgraduate Conference and Black Students Campaign.....
Now an annual feature on campuses around the world, this series of lectures and rallies equates Israel with the erstwhile South African regime and implies that the same activism — predominantly boycotts — is appropriate.

Cool. Miko Peled is great too. He gives no fucks ever, unless it's when he's literally fighting it out with the IDF, as he was in the West Bank a few weeks ago. He ended up going to jail for a bit but they had to let him go, since he's an Israeli / not a Palestinian.
