The first of ten sessions of a season of Palestinian films and discussions, held at WFA Media and Cultural Centre in Manchester. After a screening of the film Revolution Until Victory, Dr Khalil Hindi, a Palestinian living in Britain and a lecturer at UMIST, talks about the issues raised in the film and recent developments. He speaks about the themes that arise again and again in the Arab/Israeli struggle. The aim of Zionism to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine and therefore its need to align with the occupying power. Zionism's relationship with imperialism, conflict between Israel and the Arab regimes particularly Syria and Egypt, the Camp David Accord. He also takes questions/contributions from the floor. |
