This one day event aims to create awareness among the public, particularly students, of the dire situation in Palestine. Presenting renowned speakers with extensive knowledge and experience on the issue, we hope to understand the background of the issue and roots of conflict that have led to such a critical state of affairs. Thus, it is hoped that with better understanding, we will be encouraged to do our utmost to improve the situation in whatever way possible.

The morning session will be taking us back into history to understand how the current situation emerged. We also hope to better understand why exactly everyone is fighting over and for Palestine – the Muslims and non-Muslims alike. It will also disclose the history and establishment of Zionism and its pre-eminent role in the conflict, with a special interest in the role of Zionist Christians as well.

In the afternoon, our guests will be sharing their knowledge and experience of the issue, what they have personally or communally been involved in to improve the situation, and what we as students and the public can do, and should do, to make a change for the better.

With support from Dr.Azzam Tamimi, Dr.Ang Swee Chai, Dr.Ghada Karmi, Prof Mona Baker, MSM, MSSM, ISOC, Interpal and BRICUP.
