Join North East Friends of Standing Together for a public meeting with two activists from Achvat Amim (Solidarity of Nations), part of the Protect The Harvest coalition, to discuss experiences of protective presence activity in the occupied West Bank.
As part of our involvement in theĀ Protect The HarvestĀ coalition, UK Friends of Standing Together invites you to meet two British-Jewish activists fromĀ Achvat AmimĀ (Solidarity of Nations, another Protect The Harvest partner organisation) to discuss their involvement in "protective presence" activity in the occupied West Bank.
Daniel Mautner and David Legmann (bios below) will discuss:
- Settler violence in the West Bank and the responses to it by the IDF, Israeli politicians, and Israeli civil society.
- TheĀ Protect the HarvestĀ coalition, and protective presence as means to combat settler violence.
- The response of the international community to settler violence: what can be useful and what distracts from bringing about a change?
The event will feature presentations from the speakers, followed by an opportunity for questions and comments. PleaseĀ registerĀ to attend. The venue will be shared with registered attendees nearer the time of the event.
