Cambridge Forum welcomes head of the Bil'in Popular Committe IYAD BURNAT and social justice activist TRINA JACKSON for a discussion on non-violent strategies for popular resistance in Palestine.
Since 2005, citizens of Bil’in, joined by Israeli and international peace activists, have held weekly non-violent demonstrations against the Israeli separation wall and the encroachment of illegal settlements. The protesters have maintained a commitment to non-violent resistance in the face of armed military opposition. The demonstrations are the subject of the 2012 Oscar-nominated documentary film 5 Broken Cameras, which was made by Iyad’s brother, Emad Burnat. How has he brought potential adversaries to share his goal of peace and prosperity for all people?
