Tomorrow sees the start of a series of public events jointly sponsored by the Business Day’s weekend paper, the Weekender, Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism and the Faculty of Humanities at Wits University.
In a series of 8 lectures, 2 of them are devoted to Palestinian propaganda. No other country specific lectures are scheduled thus far. Nothing on the recent Iranian human rights abuses, Sudan’s ongoing genocide, the violence in Sri Lanka where more Tamil tigers were killed in one week than Palestinians and Israelis combined were killed in the intifada, or the calamitous upheaval of democracy in Zimbabwe.
And we shouldn’t be surprised because in South Africa the only issue is the Palestinian issue.
The list of events can be found here: Weekender Events
