Non-Violence or Violence to Resolve Conflict (part II)
LANA HABASH
"Pacifism through the Eyes of Its Victims"

People around the world continue to resist the genocidal violence of
Anglo-American colonialism and imperialism by the means available to them.
Pacifists maintain that non-violence is the only legitimate response. What
effect does the promotion of pacifism have on the struggles of colonized
people and the survivors of western imperialism? Join us for a discussion of
pacifism-- through the eyes of its victims.

Lana Habash is a Palestinian mom and organizer. Her work focuses on the
struggle to free Palestine and other anti-racist/anti-colonial struggles.
She is a member of the New England Committee to Defend Palestine, the Qawem
Coalition, and Jericho Boston.
