Pete Seeger says that political change happens in the capillaries. That's where all the movement goes on. And I like to say that our kids will lead us. They're smarter than we are. (And that Americans must lead the Middle East, we understand minority rights.) Here's an email a friend sent me that was sent out to the Harvard Islamic Society from the Harvard Progressive Jewish Alliance. The world is changing under our feet…
Subject: Fattoush and
Bedouin Politics
The Harvard College Progressive Jewish Alliance would
like to extend a special invitation to our friends at the Harvard Islamic
Society to join us for a Bedouin theme-dinner at Harvard Hillel next Monday, 11/24 from 5-7 pm exploring Bedouin culture and
politics.
Dana Lazarus '09, who worked last summer with Bustan
(an Israeli NGO that works for fair resource allocation and environmental and
social justice for all peoples in the Negev) will be there to share her
experiences and the Progressive Jewish Alliance will be presenting information
about current Bedouin political issues in
Israel .
As always, dinner is free to undergrads and we will have a delicious kosher
Bedouin-inspired menu specially prepared by the Hillel's Chef Brian.
Maybe they will even talk about Palestinian Arabs generally, and the right of return?
