The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine – May 14, 2008

On May 14 Awareness Film Night will present a screening of the recent Vancouver talk by Israeli historian and professor Ilan Pappe titled after his current book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine”. It has been 60 years this month since the creation from the Land of Palestine of the State of Israel as a safe haven for Jews. Yet Israel/Palestine remains one of the most insecure, fear-ridden, deadly places in the world. How did this happen? Beginning with a short excerpt from the film “Occupation 101” to give some historical backround, this evening will present a view of the situation that is not normally presented by the mainstream media. Showtime is at 7 p.m. at the Edward Milne Community School theatre, 6218 Sooke Rd. in Sooke. Admission is by donation.
