“Israeli Apartheid Week” will take place for the third consecutive year starting next Monday through to Saturday.
Israeli-Arab MK Jamal Zahalka was invited to speak at one of the events marking the week in Montréal on Thursday.
“Calling the occupation apartheid isn’t an overstatement, it’s an understatement,” Zahalka said, “The Israeli occupation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are worse than apartheid.”
“Israel Apartheid Week” will be comprised of several events including lectures, informational booths, cultural events, film screenings and demonstrations held at various North American and European campuses.
Organizer’s of the events said on the week’s official website , “The past few years have seen an explosion of literature and analysis that has placed Israel alongside other settler-colonial states like South Africa, arguing that Israel is in fact an apartheid state, not just a belligerent occupying power.”
