Public Meeting: Netanyahu’s New Normal – Ramping Up Israel’s Racist Attacks on Palestinians and African Refugees

Independent journalist David Sheen has been reporting from inside Jewish Isreali society since 2010, focusing on racial conflict and religious extremism.

Sheen’s articles and videos for Ha’aretz,  Alternet,  Electronic Intifada and other sites have been critical to exposing the sad situation on the ground, while his presentations to dozens of college campuses and European parliaments have helped communities mobilise in response.

A tense, gripping thriller about betrayal, suspected and real, in the Occupied Territories. Omar (Adam Bakri) is a Palestinian baker who routinely climbs over the separation wall to meet up with his girl Nadja (Leem Lubany). By night, he’s either a freedom fighter or a terrorist-you decide-ready to risk his life to strike at the Israeli military with his childhood friends Tarek (Eyad Hourani) and Amjad (Samer Bisharat). Arrested after the killing of an Israeli soldier and tricked into an admission of guilt by association, he agrees to work as an informant. So begins a dangerous game-is he playing his Israeli handler (Waleed F. Zuaiter) or will he really betray his cause?
