The keynote speakers at this one day conference on settler colonialism in Palestine include Omar Barghouti, Ilan Pappé, Ben White and Ruba Salih. Updates will be posted on the SPSC website and emailed to registrants. BDS is how we exert pressure on Israel to help bring an end to the nightmare in Palestine that the UK launched a century ago. The conference on Settler Colonialism in Palestine examines what we are opposing: the origins, aims and deadly dynamic of the colonisation project ongoing in Israel/Palestine. The conference is part of a series of SPSC coordinated activities during the international Edinburgh Festival in August 2016. These activites build on several years of cultural boycott campaigning in Scotland. - Open Letter to Edinburgh International Festival and Festival Fringe: Keep your Festivals Apartheid Free!
