Dr. Nancy Murray spoke at a recent forum sponsored by Community Change Inc. in Boston.
Recorded by WZBCs Truth & Justice Radio co-producer Stan Robinson; equipment provided by co-producer Steve Cornie; Truth & Justice Radio is four hours of spirited resistance to war, injustice, engineered poverty, lying politicians, jingoism, corporate criminality, and media disinformation, aired Sundays 6-10am ET and streamed and archived at wzbc.org.
What--if any--parallels can be drawn between the Zionist project and the ideology and impact of "white supremacy" that justified westward expansion and buttressed Jim Crow segregation in the United States? What are the links between Israel and apartheid South Africa and to what extent can the apartheid analogy be applied to Israel/Palestine? After exploring these questions, this talk will examine the movement against Israeli apartheid, which is gathering momentum internationally and within the US. Nancy Murray, who holds a BA from Harvard University and a Ph.D. from Oxford University, is a life-long human rights activist. After teaching for seven years at the University of Nairobi, she directed a nation- wide program to combat racism in the media at Londonâs Institute of Race Relations, and remains on the editorial committee of its journal, Race & Class. She has been an advocate for the rights of the Palestinian people for more than two decades, and has founded and participated in several organizations that seek to change US policy and promote a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Among her publications are numerous articles on the conflict and a book, Palestinians? Life Under Occupation. She has also written a chapter on the post 9/11 profiling of Muslims and Arabs in the award-winning book edited by Elaine Hagopian, Civil Rights in Peril? The Targeting of Arabs and Muslims.
