Azzam Tamimi – Palestinian academic and prominent member of the Stop the War Coalition.  Director of Institute of Islamic Political Thought in London.  He wrote that “Hamas is asked to accept that it is legitimate for Israel to occupy the homes of Palestinians and to deny them the right to return to these homes.  It is asked to renounce violence while the Israelis are under no obligation to reciprocate.”

Liliane Kaczerginski – Schmerke Kaczerginski, Liliane’s father, was a prominent Jewish fighter against the Nazis in the Vilnius ghetto in Lithuania.  Liliane is an activist with the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN).  She recently argued that “Zionism dishonours the genocide of European Jews” and that a “Jewish State…means Jewish supremacy; we say no to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.  We are committed to the right of return for Palestinians and to a boycott, sanctions and disinvestment of Israel – Free Palestine in a Free World!”

2.45pm – 4.30pm       EDINBURGH:   Liliane Kaczerginski (Chair: Asif Dean)
