"The situation in Israel and Palestine"
Andrew Silver and Steven Edelstein
Come and participate in this discussion led by two community leaders and activists for human rights, peace and justice.
Andrew Silver is a long time activist who refused induction in the US army in 1966 and fled the country. He eventually became an Israeli citizen and served in the Israeli active military reserves for 8 years but found that he could no longer serve as a matter of conscience. He left, lived in Thailand for 8 years, and then returned to the US in 1989. Silver is planning to return to Israel upon retirement this summer to work for peace.
Steven Edelstein, also a long time activist, is an attorney with Edelstein and Payne, a law firm that focuses on issues of disability, industrial accidents, workers' rights and civil rights. A first generation Jewish American, Edelstein is a member of Stop Torture Now and Jews for a Just Peace North Carolina.
