Palestinian Film Maker Hanna Elias to Join June 24, 07 Debate at the Israeli-Palestinian Confederation, in Santa Monica Library
On June 24, 2007, the Israeli-Palestinian Confederation will host a debate at the Santa Monica Public Library on whether an independent, confederation-style government could facilitate a lasting peace between Palestinians and Israelis. We are proud to have Hanna Elias, a Palestinian filmmaker, as a member of our panel.
Mr. Elias is a long-time peace activist. He has worked with Palestinian and Israeli children and teens to encourage mutual respect and cooperation. He has dubbed the film "Gandhi" into Arabic to promote non-violent resistance to conflict. Elias's "The Olive Harvest," which he wrote and directed, garnered prizes in several international film festivals in 2003. In Cairo, it captured the Best Arab Film award and the Special Jury Award. It was also the runner-up in the San Francisco Film Festival, and it was the Palestinian Authority's official entry to the 2005 Oscars.
In addition to Mr. Elias, the debate panel will include:
" HUSSEIN IBISH,Senior Fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine
" PROFESSOR DAVID MYERS, History Department, UCLA
" PROFESSOR GABRIEL PITERBERG, History Department, UCLA
" JOSEF AVESAR, ESQ., Israeli-born attorney based in Los Angeles, CA
The moderator will be FERIAL MASRY .
