Prof. George Bisharat Looking Ahead: the Struggle forJustice, Peace, and Equality in Palestine/Israel

Prof. George Bisharat is a professor at Hastings College of the Law, an activist for peace and justice in the Middle East for 35 years, and a Palestinian-American. In recent years, Prof. Bisharat has consulted with the Palestinian Legislative Council over the structure of the Palestinian judiciary, reforms in criminal procedure, and other aspects of legal development. In this thought-provoking talk, Prof. Bisharat rejects the current focus on the debate around one or two states as a solution for a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Instead, he argues that the focus should be on the need for an international, non-violent movement that addresses the substantive rights of the 3 main branches of the Palestinian peoplese who are citizens of Israel, those living under occupation, and refugees.
