I have many friends connected with FOSNA/FRIENDS OF SABEEL NORTH AMERICA and can connect CROSSLEFT with ease to someone who attended the historic conference in Boston last week when over 900 attended the largest conference to be held by Sabeel in the U.S.A!!!

Desmond Tutu, Naim Ateek, Noam Chomsky, Anat Biletzki, Phyllis Bennis, Jeff Halper, and others addressed:

The Apartheid Paradigm in Palestine-Israel: Issues of Justice & Peace
October 26-27, 2007. Old South Church, Copley Square, Boston, MA

So many people stood in line to register at the last minute for the Saturday sessions of the Boston Sabeel conference that for the first time, Sabeel turned people away.

SOLD OUT signs were posted on the front doors of the Old South Church in Boston. Inside was packed to the rafters with folks from 30 U.S. states and from five countries.

The event drew opposition from pro-occupation and pro-Zionist groups in the wider Boston area.

Prophets on Apartheid: Part 1

According to a UN report, Haaretz columnist Danny Rubinstein admitted that "Israel today was an apartheid State with four different Palestinian groups: those in Gaza, East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Israeli Palestinians, each of which had a different status...even if the wall followed strictly the line of the pre-1967 border, it would still not be justified. The two peoples needed cooperation rather than walls because they must be neighbors." [1]

One of the most modest yet accomplished women I have ever met is Dr. Mona El Farra. Among the many accomplishments of this selfless dermatologist who lives in Gaza is her position as the Director of Gaza Projects with Middle East Children's Alliance [www.mecaforpeace.org], Board Director of Red Crescent [Cross] Society of Gaza, and Health Development Consultant of Union Health Workers Committee of Gaza and the blogger of "From Gaza With Love" http://fromgaza.blogspot.com/.

[Washington, D.C. June 10, 2007]In solidarity with the International Community, over 5,000 truth, justice and peace activists converged on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol for the historic national demonstration against the Israeli occupation on a hot humid Sunday afternoon and declared:
