Josh Ruebner discusses his book Shattered Hopes

November 4, 2013 Elisabeth

Josh Ruebner, National Advocacy Director of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, will be in the Twin Cities to discuss his book Shattered Hopes: Obama’s Failure to Broker Israeli-Palestinian Peace. The book describes the failures of the Obama administration to bring peace to the Middle East.

Phyllis Bennis, director of New Internationalism Project, Institute for Policy Studies, has written: “…this book provides a welcome clarity that cuts through years of stale disinformation.” Bill Fletcher, Jr., writer/activist and past president of the Trans AfricaForum wrote “Josh Ruebner has offered a badly needed contribution to a discussion that is all too often suppressed in the mainstream media.”

Mr. Ruebner will be speaking and signing copies of his book at Christ the Redeemer Lutheran Church, 5440 Penn Ave. South, Minneapolis, MN 55419 at 7:00 pm November 20, 2013.

Divest for Justice in Palestine!

We are Palestinians, Americans, Jews, Christians, Muslims, students, professionals, parents, community members and allies working together to bring Palestine-centric education to Minnesota in order to promote justice and human rights.

We believe:

We, the people of Minnesota, have the moral obligation to make sound investments that will not aid the oppression of any one race, creed or people. Minnesota’s investment in Israel supports an apartheid system in both Israel and the Occupied Territories that causes thousands of civilian deaths, many of whom are children, and which involves the widespread abuse of human rights. This system defies a ruling by the International Court of Justice as well as more than 65 UN Resolutions, and violates the Fourth Geneva Convention. We demand that the state of Minnesota act on its good conscience and support the breaking of economic ties with the apartheid state of Israel.

We say, Minnesota divest from Israel Bonds, Divest for Justice in Palestine!
