PP#19 – Ronit Lentin, David Landy & Harry Brown on ‘Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism’ [2016-06-07] – (Download here)
INFO:
What is antisemitism? What is anti-Zionism? Are they the same thing as many apologists for the crimes of the Israeli state would have people believe? This meeting held in Wynn’s Hotel, Dublin on 7th June 2016 explored these issues in depth and argues that not only are they two concepts radically different, antisemitism has no place in the Palestinian solidarity movement.
