ABOUTIOA Editor: An outstanding and memorable event with each of the participants excelling. This was another successful, informative event organized by Columbia University’s Center for Palestine Studies.
Video recording of the event can be found HERE
A panel discussion dedicated to examining the reality and consequences of Israel’s war and siege of Gaza. What do we know about Gaza 2008-2009 today after several investigations by various human rights organizations? Is the head of the UN fact-finding mission Justice Richard Goldstone right in arguing (as he did recently) that a ‘reconsideration’ of his UN report, which found evidence of war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity, is now in order?
Panelists:
- Norman G. Finkelstein, author of This Time We Went Too Far: Truth and Consequences of the Gaza Invasion
- Rashid Khalidi, author of The Iron Cage, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia, and Co-Director of CPS
- Peter Weiss, Vice President, Center for Constitutional Rights
2 May 2011, 7:30 PM ~ 10:00 PM
Room 417, Altschul Auditorium, International Affairs Building

IOA Editor: Video recording of the event can be found HERE
Excellent news. I was searching for the footage of that event.
It’s wonderful to read that the Center for Palestine Studies at Columbia University will hold an important event about Gaza on May 2. But I don’t see that the event will be produced online or that recordings will be made from the talks. It is very frustrating to read that most of the speakers on Palestine visit only the major US cities on the coasts, and the rest of the country never sees or hears them. I am very committed to the cause of Palestine, but like many other adherents feel left out. How can we build a national concensus when there is so little attention to most of the country?
