We are putting together a series of talks for Ewa J, just back from 9 months in Iraq, and several months in Jenin, Palestine. We want the talks to be discussions where individuals can discuss and debate issues around violence, self defence, pre-emptive strikes, media etc.

"Ewa J has just returned from spending 8 months in Baghdad and Basra,
supporting human rights groups, womens organisations, families, workers,
trade unionists and Palestinian refugees. She also lived for 6 months
with communities of resistance in Jenin and Nablus in Occupied Palestine,
volunteering with Paramedics at the Red Crescent Society, monitoring
checkpoints, delivering food and medicine, accompanying council workers,
teachers and children during curfew, and organising demonstrations. She
has written for Red Pepper, Electronic Iraq, Z-Net, Counterpunch,
Infoshop, Occupation Watch and The Socialist Review in the US on workers
struggle against the US-UK-Polish Occupation and neo-Baathism."

We will be having an organising meeting at 8pm, Tues 23rd March, Mono cafe, 12 Kings Court, King Street, Glasgow G1 5RB
