Oak Park, IL 60302Event is free and open to the public.
RSVP's for dinner are now closed, but feel free to come to the talk at 6pm.Despite rhetoric from politicians, the facts on the ground in Israel and Palestine have convinced many that the option of a two-state solution is not an achievable path to a just and lasting peace. The reality is that there is already a de facto one state in place, with Palestinians suffering intensifying misery, dispossession, and occupation.
The ODSC campaign rests on four main principles: a multicultural democracy; the right of the refugees to return to their country; a process of thorough decolonization, the dismantling of all structures of domination; and the construction of a new shared civil society.
