‘The Israeli left and the occupation: a story of pretence and betrayal’ – A talk by Haim Bresheeth, Thurs 12 April

April 12, 2018

Date/Time
Date(s) - 12 Apr 2018 until 12 Apr 2018
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM


We’re very pleased to be able to welcome Haim Bresheeth to Brighton, to speak to us about the ‘Israeli Left’. 
What is meant by ‘the left’ in the context of Israeli politics?
How influential is ‘the left’ in Israel?

Does ‘the left’ challenge the fundamental principles upon which the Israeli state was founded?
Is ‘the left’ committed to the so-called two-state solution?
Can ‘the left’ in Israel help bring about a just and sustainable resolution to the Palestinian struggle? If so, does it deserve our support?

Thursday 12 April 2018 at 7.30pm
Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton BN1 1AF
Free admission – donations welcome

“Most of my family was destroyed in the Holocaust – in concentration camps and in the Warsaw Ghetto.  I was born in a refugee camp in Italy immediately after the War.  I’m not saying this in order to elicit sympathy … but in order to explain why it is so easy for me to understand the Palestinians in Gaza and in the rest of Palestine.  It is easy for me to understand because they live in a combination of concentration camp and Warsaw Ghetto for so many years that we have stopped counting.”
