SUMMARY:Miko Peled: Palestine Beyond Zionism
DESCRIPTION:DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA\nJoin GW SJP in welcoming Miko Peled for h
 is discussion on the prospects of peace and coexistence between Palestinia
 ns and Israelis.\n\nIf we wish to see thousands of Palestinian prisoners r
 eleased\, the end of the brutal siege and attacks on Gaza\, the Right of R
 eturn and restitution for Palestinian refugees\, demilitarization of the c
 ountry\, freedom of worship and many of the other issues that have come to
  represent the Palestinian issue resolved\, then we must act towards the e
 nd of Zionism and a Palestine beyond Zionism.\n\nFor peace to be a reality
  in Palestine\, the root of the conflict must be addressed. Zionism\, the 
 ideology upon which Israel was established and calls for the colonization 
 of Palestine by Jewish people and the establishment of a state with exclu
 sive rights for Jews\, is that root cause.\n\nIsraelis and Palestinians ca
 n live together in peace when the state of Israel\, which is not a Jewish 
 State but a Zionist state\, is transformed into a democracy where both peo
 ple can live under a democratic rule that represents and serves both peopl
 e.\n\nIn South Africa removing Apartheid was the key to ending the plight 
 of black South Africans\, in Palestine removing Zionism is the key to reso
 lving the plight of the Palestinians and allowing Palestinians and Israeli
 s to live side by side in peace.\n\nMiko Peled is an Israeli writer and ac
 tivist living in the US. He was born and raised in Jerusalem. Driven by a 
 personal family tragedy to explore Palestine\, its people and their narrat
 ive he has written a book about his journey called “The General’s Son\
 , Journey of an Israeli in Palestine."\n
