I wish I had a day to sit and listen to all of the panelists, but I have a thesis on the social origins and transformative potential of agrarian mobilization in Venezuela and Brazil seriously overdue. So, a few of my favorite speakers from this amazing conference:
Jacqueline Rose on The Politics of Apology
Ghada Karmi on International Support
Karmi:
[On] how much work Jewish friends need to do on their own society. I think the urgency and the priority is not really so much for us Palestinians and you Jews to understand each other, although that's important, but for this work of awareness and opening up, making people see, helping them with denials, has to done among Jews, has to be done amongst Israelis, and amonsgst Jewish supporters, wherever they are....
For Palestinians, the real model is Hezbollah. That's what they look to. And what they're struck by is that it didn't get the Israelis out by being non-violent by being non-violent, by engaging in dialogue, it got them out by military means, it got them out by force.
...
We need help. We cannot do it on our own...Israel is excessively powerful, terribly strong. We need all the help we can get...The boycott is very important.
