Lecture: For sustainable ghettos:
the plan
Two weeks ago Bethlehem hosted the Palestine Investment
Conference. The conference has brought many discussions about its aims and its
succes. We invited Dawood Hamoudeh, the writer of the report 'Development or
normalization' to give a lecture in our cafe to speak in general about economy
in the Westbank and in particular about the Palestine Investment
Conference.
Dawood Hamoudeh is a researcher working on the economical
dimension of the disengagement plan the economical impact of the wall (in
general) and how the occupation is willing to sustain the Apartheid Wall, profit
from it and sustain the conflict in the region.
Dawood will try to explain the current situation on the ground (walls,
checkpoints, settlements… etc) and the “future vision“ on how they can sustain
the ghettos and the whole apartheid system being built here. Within the future
perspective, he will talk about the projects proposed in the PIC and why they
don’t help the Palestinian cause.
Dawood works for the Stop the wall
campaign, which was established in June 2002, one month after the beginning of
the construction of the apartheid wall. The campaign is a coalition of 54
village committees and 12 Palestinian NGO's, who are trying to gather efforts to
confront the occupation, the wall and the impacts of the
wall.
