Dr JEFF HALPER is an Israeli academic and peace activist who co-founded the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions (ICAHD, http://www.icahd.org/eng/) in 1997 to challenge and resist the Israeli policy of demolishing Palestinian homes at the risk of his own personal safety.

    John, yes the lecture is definitely on. There is no need to book a seat but if you want a good one you should arrive a bit earlier.

    A related video (February 2009) is by Israeli photographer and activist, Shachaf Polakow.

    His talk promotes the work of nonviolent resistance.

    He provides photos and vivid discriptions of the work of Anarchists Against the Wall, an Israeli organization working in solidarity with Palestinians to oppose the Separation Barrier (Wall, fence and matrix of control) and to bring an end to the Israeli occupation.

    Very compelling.
