24 sep - Freedom Lecture - Standing Together

Alon-lee Green and Rula Daood from Standing Together present the freedom lecture on justice and against the occupation of Palestinian land.

Ever since 2015, Standing Together has tried to show Israeli citizens, unwilling to accept the status quo, that there is a powerful way to join forces, without erasing differences. Standing Together is against the occupation of Palestinian land and wants to debunk the myth that military oppression of Palestinians is needed for Jewish security. Against the ultranationalist campaigns of both Israel and Hamas, they provide a radical vision of collaboration and union. Tonight we reflect on the difficult reality on the ground: A far-right government in Israel and the deadly violence in Gaza and in The West Bank.

What tactics does Standing Together employ, what are the struggles on the ground ? Who is their support base? How do they deal with the variety of views on ending occupation and with people hostile to their message? What can activists here in the Netherlands learn from their work?
