A Special Evening with Ilan Pappe

Come celebrate MECA’s 28th anniversary with anti-Zionist Israeli historian, author and activist Ilan Pappe!

Ilan Pappé is the bestselling author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, along with many other books. In his 2015 book with Noam Chomsky, On Palestine, he and Chomsky discuss the road ahead for Palestinians, and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its abuses against the Palestinian people.

Ilan Pappe is professor with the College of Social Sciences & International Studies at the University of Exeter (United Kingdom) -- as well as director of the university's European Centre for Palestine Studies.

"Ilan Pappé is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian."—John Pilger

Cosponsored by KPFA, Jewish Voice for Peace/Bay Area, and more!
