Public lecture with Amira Hass
20 November 2013, CREA Amsterdam
The impossibility of the self-evident necessity: On Israeli activism against the occupation
Amira Hass is an Israeli journalist and publicist who has been writing about the daily life in the Palestinian Territories for decades. She lives in the Territories and also has lived in Gaza for some time. Hass’ critical work forms a very important and welcome addition to the often non-critical way the Israeli media reports on the Occupied Territories. She has won many awards during her career, such as the Prize for Press Freedom of Reporters without Borders and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Women’s Media Foundation. In her lecture Hass will speak about Israeli activism against the occupation.
