Why

How is the struggle for Palestine connected to wider struggles against racism and injustice? How has Israel managed to leverage its "battle tested" weapons and surveillance technology to forge strategic partnerships with repressive regimes around the world? How does the experience of intergenerational trauma affect the work of Jewish and Palestinian human rights advocates in the modern era?

On Tuesday 5 September, Free Palestine Melbourne and the Australian Jewish Democratic Society will be hosting a joint forum at RMIT University in which journalist and writer Antony Loewenstein and poet and human rights activist Sara Saleh will discuss their work, writing and activism with APAN educator and community organiser Noura Mansour.

Both Antony, whose latest book The Palestine Laboratory was published in May, and Sara, whose debut novel Songs for the Dead and the Living, is being published in August, will be available to sign copies of their books, which be on sale after the forum.
