About TEDx,
x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

عن تيد أكس
أكس= حدث مستقل منظم ذاتياً
يشكل تيد أكس رام الله عبارة عن برنامج محلي، ينظمه أفراد يؤمنون بأن الأفكار تستحق الإنتشار لأنها تساهم في جمع الناس فيتشاركون تجربة من وحي تجارب تيد. تبث المؤتمرات المنظمة من قبل تيد أكس خطابات تيد على أشرطة الفيديو كما وتعتمد على الخطابات الحية التي يلقيها المتحدثون فتنشط النقاشات العميقة وتشتد الروابط الإنسانية والفكرية في المجموعة الواحدة. وقد صمم البرنامج تحديداً لتحفيز الأفراد كما المنظمات والمجتمعات على تنشيط الحوار. يزود مؤتمر تيد برنامج تيد أكس بالتوجيهات العامة، إلا أن تنظيم مناسبات تيد أكس الفردية يتم بشكل ذاتي.* لذلك تعرف هذه النشاطات المحلية والمنظمة ذاتياً بتيد أكس حيث تصبح أكس عبارة عن حدث مستقل منظم ذاتياً.

  • I am a 61 yrs of age Palestinian refugee that will never forget or relinquish my right to return as long as Palestinian blood flows through my veins. Officials have been Talking Negotiating Dialogging, for decades. Any thing BUT solving this heinous and barbaric dilemma, this tragedy has been going on far too long, Palestinian suffering must end now not tomorrow or after the next election. Palestinians are proud loving people that have been mistreated by Hateful and Criminal state of Israel.

  • Why are Jews doing this? Why do American Jews allow this human tragedy to continue? Are Israeli Jews and their supporters here so racist they think they need to maintain a majority in the Holy Land? What differentiates this attitude from that of White Supremacist ideology? Jews represent only about 2 percent here and are broadly represented in all areas of political and academic life. A one-democratic state is what is needed with a constitution; freedom, justice, and equality for all. Full RoR!

  • America is Isreals bitch, and as long as that remains the case, justice for Palestinians will be extremely difficult to achieve. Zionists have far too much influence on american politics, and the biased media avoids criticism of isreal. The native people of america were disposessed of their lands, and endured much suffering. One can only hope it'll turn out better for the resilient palestinian people. Good luck to them.

  • My fathers village was massacred by Israelis in 1948. I was one of the lucky ones to be raised in AMERICA where I can see the government being ruled by the same oppressors. FREE AMERICA !!!!!!

  • TERRORIST State of isrhell must be stopped... fantastic talk sam

  • Very moving indeed Sam. God bless you.

  • Excellent Sam! (Nice to see you.)

    You are a wonderful speaker.

    In Peace and Solidarity-Donna FREE PALESTINE NOW!

  • It is way past time to bitch slap Israel and put Israeli's back into the 1948 borders. NO more no less.

    Israel is a TERRORIST State and it's time for the rest of the world to STOP their Genocide of Palestinians.
