"From Direct Action to the Freedom Flotilla: International Solidarity and the Palestinian Freedom Struggle"
A public lecture and discussion with HUWAIDA ARRAF
University of Regina, Luther College Auditorium
March 15th @ 7pm

International solidarity in support of Palestine is growing around the world. From international activists standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Palestinians fighting confiscation of their land to the growing boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign or the Free Gaza Movement's naval challenges to the illegal siege of Gaza, the Palestine solidarity movement has never been stronger. What are the ways these international movements can best support the Palestinian-led anti-Apartheid movement in the future, and how can they best respond to ongoing attempts at the national and international levels to silence, marginalize and even criminalize effective solidarity with Palestine?

Huwaida Arraf is a Palestinian with American and Israeli citizenship. She is the co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and co-author of the book "Peace Under Fire: Israel, Palestine, and the International Solidarity Movement." Huwaida is currently the Chairperson of the Free Gaza Movement. Since August 2008, she has led five successful sea voyages to the Gaza Strip. Huwaida was travelling with the Gaza Freedom Flotilla when it was lethally attacked by Israeli forces on May 31, 2010.
