The speakers are two Israeli citizen opponents and anti-Zionist activists who defend the rights of the Palestinian people in their land and denounce the systematic violence exercised by the State of Israel against the Palestinians. This panel discussion will address the difference between Judaism, anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.
Eitan Bronstein Aparicio, educator, documentary filmmaker, co-founder and former president of “Zochrot”, the first Israeli NGO to address the issue of the historical memory of the Nakba (genocide disaster of the Palestinian people in 1948) from the perspective of universal justice and international law. He is also co-founder of “De-Colonizer”, an Artistic Research Laboratory, whose objectives include raising awareness in Israeli society for the recognition of the rights of the native Palestinian people in their land.
The second is Yonathan Shapira, a former military pilot in the Israeli army. In 2003, he wrote and signed a letter, which was signed by 27 other Israeli pilots, expressing their refusal to carry out bombing orders over the West Bank and Gaza Strip. As a result, he was expelled from the army and has since been a strong advocate for the rights of the Palestinian people and for holding the Israeli military chain of command accountable for its war crimes against the Palestinians.
