Advent & Apartheid: A Three-Part Study
We are at a moment in history when a growing number of number of networks are using the word apartheid to describe the on the ground realities of Palestinians - in the past few years many human rights organizations (US, Israel, Palestine, international), as well as new outlets and denominations are naming apartheid – and we recognize that Palestinians have long named their reality as apartheid. With our commitments to justice, liberation and challenging all forms of racism, it is so important for us to take seriously the charge of apartheid and what it means to continue to work for the liberation of our siblings in Palestine and Israel.
This three-week study is based upon A Dossier on Israeli Apartheid, by Kairos Palestine and Global Kairos for Justice (with contributions from FOSNA Executive Director Jonathan Kuttab). This study was developed by Rev. Dr. Allison Tanner, National Organizer for the Apartheid-Free Communities campaign.
