Women in Black: Gila Svirsky: End the Occupation (2002 peace tour video 7)

Talk at an April 2002 peace vigil in Jerusalem by Gila Svirsky, who grew up in an orthodox Jewish community in New Jersey but has lived in Israel since 1966 when she was 19 years old, and was one of the founders of Women in Black in 1988. She answers questions about the status and politics of Israel/Palestinian peace in 2002, and puts up with a fundamentalist Jewish anti-Arab heckler.
