The Third Summer University of Palestine: Booking opens soon!<

The third Summer University of Palestine will be from Saturday 1st September to Sunday 9th September this year. Once again we will be based in thebeautiful and tranquil American University of Beirut in Hamra, Beirut, Lebanon.

Past speakers at the University have included Professor Norman Finkelstein, Ronnie Kasrils former head of the armed wing of the ANC, Dr Ghada Karmi, Dr Karma Nabulsi, George Galloway, Professor Abbie Bakan, Professor Tom Hickey, Dr Abdullah Abdullah the Palestinian ambassador to Lebanon and many others.

This year we will also be organising tours of the south down to the border with occupied Palestine, to the Museum of National Resistance, to the historic Roman site at Baalbek, to the historic city of Byblos, to a Palestinian refugee camp and a walking tour of Beirut with veterans of the Lebanese civil war.

This is a unique event and a unique opportunity to learn about the Middle East, the sources of conflict and roads to a resolution.

For the eight days, the cost is just $410 or £280.

Accommodation in Beirut at reasonably priced hotels is plentiful at this time of the year and flights are also relatively cheap if you book early. We are also investigating whether we can organise reasonably priced accommodation close to the AUB. We hope to come to a conclusion on this by the end of March.

george-gallowayThey said it was impossible but we did it, against overwhelming odds.

We organised and successfully delivered more than $5 million worth of humanitarian aid to the beleaguered people of Gaza. Three huge convoys,
hundreds of vehicles, scores of volunteers, medical equipment, drugs, through dozens of countries, past cheering crowds but also in the teeth of opposition from the governments of some countries.
But it doesn't end there. It cannot. While the illegal siege continues it's our duty to do what we can to pierce the blockade and help relieve the suffering Palestinians. Which is why we're launching Viva Palestina Arabia now.

You are closest to it, you feel it in your hearts, which is why I am asking you to help me, Viva Palestina Arabia and the starving, battered, but indomitable people of Gaza.

Please.

George Galloway
