"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." Einstein

Screening of Documentary ‘Occupation 101’ followed by discussion. Gary Walshe (IPSC) and Richard Boyd Barrett, Chair IAWM This multi-award winning film clarifies the fog of history that has enveloped the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It exposes the stark facts that gave rise to it and the continuing injustices that ensure it remains the world's longest running conflict. Anyone even moderately interested in the background and current situation in Palestine will find this a most informative chronology of events. Commentary from people intimately involved in the region offers a clear insight to the real obstacles preventing the emergence of a just and lasting peace. The hypocrisy of American support for Israel is exposed.
