THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF BOSTON
SUNDAY SPEAKERS FORUM presents...

Sunday, May 12, 2013
11:00am

Mothers' Day & Nakba Commemoration
ZENA OZEIR
"65 Years Later: The Ongoing Nakba"

A talk commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Nakba, or the "catastrophe"
, which displaced over 750,000 Palestinians in 1948. The talk will explore
the work that is being done regarding the Right of Return of Palestinian
refugees, including the Right of Return Conference that she recently helped
organize this past April at Boston University. Since this talk is occurring
on Mother's Day, she will also be discussing the gendered facet of life
under Israeli occupation, thus revealing the contradiction of speaking about
the rights of Palestinian women without highlighting the occupation,
colonialism and other forms of gendered violence.

Zena Ozeir is President of Boston University's Students for Justice in
Palestine and was a co-organizer of the Right of Return Conference that was
held at Boston University this spring.
