Bishop Tutu

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.
