Discussion about settler violence, settlement outposts and the Israeli government
With:
Research Officer at the UNESCO Chair for Human Rights and Democracy at An-Najah University, Philip Bato.
On the occasion of this week's release of the report Outposts and 'Price Tag' Violence in the West Bank, researched by Philip Bato and published jointly with the Alternative Information Center (AIC) and the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israeli (EAPPI), please join us for a presentation and discussion of the crucial topics of settler violence and settlements, explored from a new and innovative angle.
Outposts and 'Price' Tag Violence takes two concepts related to the Israeli occupation – "unauthorized outposts" and "price tag violence"– and places them within the larger framework of Israeli settler violence and the settlements, while defining their relation to the Israeli government. The report clarifies why current outpost-related events should be seen as both the logical continuation of the Israeli settlement enterprise, and an important weathervane of current Israeli policy in the occupied Palestine territory.
The importance of this topic cannot be overemphasized, particularly at this time when settler violence toward Palestinians and their property is at an all-time high.
Philip Bato is the Research Officer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's (UNESCO) Chair for Human Rights and Democracy at An-Najah University in Nablus, the largest Palestinian university.
Transportation from Beit Sahour to Jerusalem will be available at conclusion of the event. Advance registration is necessary: please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 052 637 5033 to reserve a place.
