♦PALESTINE FOR BEGINNERS – DVD ♦ CONTACT INFORMATION ♦ DONATE TO PSC ♦ Palestine Solidarity Committee – Seattle Statement of Purpose The
Palestine Solidarity Committee -- Seattle supports Palestinians in their
struggle for the fundamental right of self-determination.
PSC works for an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank
(including East Jerusalem), the Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights. We support
the provision of full human rights to all Palestinians living as minorities or
refugees anywhere in the world and the right of Palestinian refugees and their
descendants to return to their homeland. We
also support the right of the Palestinians themselves to determine the kind of
state they will live in.

A small amount on a monthly basis – even $10 or $20 – would go a long way toward supporting our work. Contact us about arranging a monthly auto-payment: info@palestineinformation.org.

Palestine Information Project presents their popular PALESTINE FOR BEGINNERS, a fast-moving guide to the roots of conflict, key historical events, and the characters and motivations behind the ongoing crisis that will provide the context for understanding evolving current events. “The longer I have reflected on your presentation, the more I am convinced that it was the single most useful, concise, interesting and complete discussion of the topic I have encountered in several years of paying close attention to Palestine/Israel issues.” -- Bruce Bowden. Filmed before a live audience and professionally edited, PALESTINE FOR BEGINNERS is a 60 minute presentation with an additional 10 minutes of Q &A, all divided into chapters for reference and classroom use.
Linda Bevis and Edward Mast have developed and presented PALESTINE FOR .BEGINNERS for several years, updating constantly as the situation changes. Linda Bevis is an attorney who lived for several years in the West Bank working with a human rights organization. She currently teaches World History at the high school level. Edward Mast is a playwright and performer whose play SAHMATAH, co-written with Hanna Eady, has been playing in the Middle East and Europe since 1998. Linda and Edward have done human rights work, together and separately, in Northern Ireland, Central America and the former Soviet Union. In 2002 they jointly received the annual human rights award of the United Nations Association of Seattle. Linda and Edward are among the co-founders of Palestine Information Project, a Seattle organization which creates educational materials and presentations about human rights issues and the US role in the Israel/Palestine conflict.
