Dr. Haidar Eid

Dr. Haidar Eid will give an introductory background on the situation in Gaza, focusing on the horror of the blockade and the three wars of aggression 2009, 2012, and 2014. He will then discuss the necessity of international intervention in the form of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions as the most effective tool of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Dr. Haidar will also discuss how to avoid normalization with apartheid Israel by heeding the BDS call made by Palestinian civil society.
