Invitation to the Irish Launch of
Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide by Ben White
Thursday 25th March, 6.45pm,
Robert Emmet Theatre, Arts Block, Trinity College Dublin
![Click on image to see full-sized version bwhitemed.jpg](../cache/imagecache/local/attachments/mar2010/460_0___30_0_0_0_0_0_bwhitemed.jpg) Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide distills the work of academics and experts into a highly readable text. This is the book to read if you want to understand the root of the conflict and how apartheid applies to the situation in Palestine.
In an evening chaired by Senator David Norris, author Ben White will discuss his new book that examines the origins of Israeli Apartheid and how it affects the daily lives of Palestinians. The systematic oppression of Palestinians living under Israeli Apartheid applies to both Palestinians living in Israel and those living in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The 'matrix of control' includes illegal Israeli colonial settlements, settler-only roads, checkpoints and closure, military bases, no-go zones, water theft, the Wall, East Jerusalem, detention and torture.
'The Crime of Apartheid''
'Inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them.' - Article II, International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, UN General Assembly Resolution 3068, 1973
'Praise for the book:'
"This book deals rationally and cogently with a topic that almost always generates considerable heat even just with book titles. The reader may not agree with everything that White asserts but it is a highly commendable effort to throw light on a fraught subject." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
"This is a very honest, clear and powerful book bringing us face to face with the reality of what Israel has done and is doing to the Palestinians. It would be convenient to ignore it. It would be convenient to assume Ben has got it wrong - that it's not quite that bad. Sadly it is and we ignore it at everyone's peril." - Garth Hewitt, Canon of St. George's Cathedral, Jerusalem
'About the author'
Ben White is a journalist and writer specialising in Palestine/Israel. He also writes on the broader Middle East, Islam and Christianity, and the 'war on terror'. His articles have appeared in a variety of international publications, including the The Guardian, New Statesman, Electronic Intifada and Christian Science Monitor.
