SUMMARY:Rock Therapy for People of Color Workshop and Evening Show
DESCRIPTION:Islamic punk (taqwacore) pioneers The Kominas are coming to Olympia from Boston to perform a show and present a workshop on their band’s history and how their message was twisted by white\, conservative media. They will also present their thoughts on the importance of creating a POC driven music scene. \nSince their earliest release in 2005\, The Kominas have found themselves in national controversy for singing about Muslim centric issues in a post-9/11 America. They were branded extremists\, radicals\, and terrorist sympathizers by conservative radio shows and blogs and were even highlighted on Fox News. However\, through the controversy\, The Kominas continue writing\, performing and touring in hopes of making the world re-examine their bigotry and islamophobia and to create a space for Muslim individuals within music scenes across the globe\, all through the medium of danceable punk\, funk punjabi\, and reggae. \nBrought to you by The Kominas\, Students Justice for Palestine\, and DiY Collective.

SUMMARY:"The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine" with Ben Ehrenreich
DESCRIPTION:Co-Presented By: The Palestine Festival of Literature; Jewish Voice for Peace – Seattle; and the Rachel Corrie Foundation \nAward-winning journalist and novelist Ben Ehrenreich presents a powerful\, damning\, grounded\, and beautifully written book about life in Palestine as it is being lived now\, The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine (Penguin Press). This is immersion journalism at its best\, drawn from years spent throughout the West Bank. \n“It is all too easy to become overwhelmed by the glaring injustice and the difficulties a traveler encounters in the territories occupied by Israel but Ben Ehrenreich resists the temptation. He remains enraged but lucid\, eloquent and insightful. Of the voluminous amount of writing about the occupation this is one to treasure. He retains an intimacy with his subject without losing his critical distance. So much has been written about the occupation of the Palestinian territories by Israel but rarely with such vividness\, eloquence and success in illuminating complex historical and political realities. This is a superbly intelligent\, informative and critical book about one of the fundamental issues of our time.” —Raja Shehadeh. \n“In The Way to The Spring\, Ben Ehrenreich accomplishes an extraordinary feat of journalism.  His portraits of Palestinian resistance are luminous; his writing subtle\, meticulously documented and deeply human; showing the nuanced empathy that slashes through the best funded government propaganda. This is a necessary book.” —Molly Crabapple.

SUMMARY:Refusing to be Enemies: Palestinian and Israeli Nonviolent Resistance to the Israeli Occupation
DESCRIPTION:featuring author Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta \nSaturday\, May 28\, 7:00 p.m.\nOlympia Friends Meeting House (3201 Boston Harbor Rd NE\, Olympia)\nAuthor Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta\, a Quaker Jew who lived in Jerusalem for seven years and has written widely on Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent activism\, will share reflections from her interview-based study that presents the voices of over 100 practitioners and theorists of nonviolence\, the vast majority either Palestinian or Israeli.  In Kaufman-Lacusta’s collection\, these subjects reflect on their personal involvement in nonviolent resistance and speak about the nonviolent strategies and tactics employed by Palestinian and Israeli organizations\, both separately and in joint initiatives.  In their own words\, these activists share examples of effective nonviolent campaigns\, discuss obstacles encountered\, and the changes required for their organizations\, and the nonviolent movement as a whole\, to more successfully pursue the goal of a just peace.  Attention is devoted to the special challenges of joint struggle and to hopes and visions for a shared future in the region. \nCopies of Refusing to be Enemies will be available for purchase and signing. For more information\, please call (360) 754-3998 or e-mail to info@rachelcorriefoundation.org. \nCo-sponsored by: Olympia Friends Meeting; Canadian Friends Service Committee; Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) – Vancover; IJV – Canada; Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice

SUMMARY:The Exiled Palestinians: Stateless Palestinians from the Camps in Lebanon
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 27th\, 7:00 PM\nBloedel Hall at St. Mark’s Cathedral\n(1245 10th Ave E.\, Seattle)\nOn May 14\, 1948\, as Zionist leader David Ben Gurion was proclaiming a Jewish state in Palestine\, his heavily armed troops seized the ancient Palestinian Arab town of al-Zeeb and drove out most of the inhabitants. Eighteen-year-old Mariam Fathallah was one of them. She and her young husband and their families were forced to flee to Lebanon\, along with most of the town. By the end of the year\, the 4\,000 year old community had been leveled to the ground. More than half the Arab Palestinians in Palestine were killed or expelled and more than half of the cities\, towns and villages of Palestine were made to disappear\, a crime that Palestinians call al-Nakba (the Catastrophe). \nMariam\, now 86 years old\, wants to meet you and tell her story in person. So does Amena Ashkar\,the granddaughter and great granddaughter of other Nakba survivors\, who has known no other home than refugee camps. \nCOME AND HEAR THEIR STORIES. COME AND ASK YOUR QUESTIONS.
