Description

The fourth of ten sessions of a season of Palestinian films, talks and discussions, held at WFA Media and Cultural Centre in Manchester. This session, entitled Kibbutzim and Palestinians, has a panel of four people - Elfie Pallas, editor of the Israeli Mirror and former co-ordinator of the Middle East Research & Action Group; Dr Salim Sakakini and Linda Balff (both from Palestine Solidarity Campaign); and Fred Coker from WFA. Elfie gives a comprehensive talk about the kibbutzim, its disproportionate influence for its small size while owning 25% of the land, the establishment of settlements on Palestinian land, and despite it being a "perfect socialist solution" how it has worked against the Palestinians. She answers questions from the floor and after she leaves Salim and Linda lead the discussion about a range of issues - military production on kibbutz, position of oriental Jews, unsustainablity of kibbutz and many others.
