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