With the recent events in Ferguson MO (as in G20 in Toronto in summer 2010) the reality of militarization of police, equipment and tactics has come to North America. Jeff Halper speaks to this phenomenon in the larger perspective of “Global Pacification System”. He is a long-time activist, writer and commentator on Israel-Palestine known for his writing on the concepts and practice of “matrix of control,” and “people warehousing” as practised by Israel on the Palestinian population in Occupied Palestinian Territory, especially in Gaza.

Jeff Halper is an Israeli peace activist and Nobel Prize Nominee. Co-Founder and Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), Dr. Halper will be touring Canada for three weeks.

Halper has been advocating for the human rights of Palestinians for decades, educating audiences around the world and actively resisting policies of dispossession in Occupied Palestinian Territory through the work of ICAHD.

Robert Latham is director of the Centre for International and Security Studies, and associate professor of Political Science, at York University in Toronto.

Tour sponsors include the United Network for Justice and Peace in Palestine and Israel (UNJPPI), Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) – Canada, United Jewish People’s Order (UJPO), and Canadian Friends of Sabeel. 

The January 22 Toronto event is also sponsored by Canadian Dimension magazine, Centre for Social Justice and Science for Peace.
