Dr. David Wesley speaks on “Jews, Arabs, and Government Officials: Power
Relations Inside Israel Today”

WHEN: Monday, February 23, 2009 4:00 pm

WHERE: Brooks Hall Library, University of Virginia

Most of those speaking about Israel today, including former President Carter
in his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, are concerned with Israeli
policy towards the territories it occupies and the situation in those
territories; Dr. Wesley's work is concerned, on the other hand, with
internal Israeli relations - a different aspect of that situation.

Dr. Wesley uses the example of attempts of Israeli Arab local governments to
develop industry in their towns inside Israel and to become joint managers
of new regional industry currently managed by their Jewish neighbors and
often located on land expropriated from Israeli Arab towns. While Israeli
laws are for the most part egalitarian in nature, their implementation is
often more selective. Analysis of the cases dealt with by Wesley has
relevance also for other countries.

Dr. David Wesley is an anthropologist with a PhD from Tel Aviv University
and author of State Practices and Zionist Images: Shaping Economic
Development in Arab Towns in Israel.

Security without Empire: National Organizing Conference on Foreign Military
Bases

WHEN: Friday, February 27, 2009 4:00 pm

WHEN: American University

There is a sense of relief that many here in the U.S. feel after the
presidential election, but we understand this is a time to step up our
organizing for peace and economic justice — including the growing movement
to close and withdraw the nearly 1,000 U.S. military bases located in
foreign nations.
