Local Initiative Joins World-Wide Observation of Nakba
Cleveland, OH – For use: May 5-13, 2008.
The Interfaith Council for Peace in the Middle East will hold a press conference and panel discussion to observe NO TIME TO CELEBRATE—a campaign that laments the nakba or ‘catastrophe’ experienced by Palestinians who were forced from their homes in Palestine when the state of Israeli was formed 60 years ago.
A panel of nakba survivors will describe what happened to them and their families.
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
1:00-2:30 PM
at River’s Edge, 3430 Rocky River Drive, Cleveland, Ohio
This conference is free and open to the public.
Council President Martha Katz of Youngstown is a founding member of The Coalition for Peace in the Middle East and the Youngstown chapter of Women in Black. She will discuss the continued and illegal occupation of Palestinian lands and the denial of rights for Palestinians, including the right of return for hundreds of thousands of Christians and Muslims to their homeland. Among panelists are nakba survivors Marlene Mourad of Brunswick and Mohammed Ramahi of Youngstown who will describe what happened to them and their families.
“NO TIME TO CELEBRATE: Jews Remember the Nakba is a campaign organized by anti-Zionist Jews from around the U.S. and Canada to coordinate Jewish protests of Israeli Independence Day celebrations and Jewish participation in commemoration of the Nakba”.
