Joel Kovel in UK!

lets face, I am very much trying to put Joel's vision into reality, the most important ecosocialist on the planet (other than John Bellamy Foster) is talking in Scotland on thursday...go and see him in Dundee, hoping he will be speaking in London for Green Left, LSE greens.

Dundee: 19/04/07 Calling for Palestinian Rights
Thursday 19 April – Dundee @ 7.00pm, Number Ten Constitution Road
Kovel joined the Green Party since 1990. In 1998, he was the Green Party candidate for US Senator from New York, and in 2000 sought their Presidential nomination.

“Greens, Calling for Palestinian Rights, Urge Divestment from Israel
The Green Party of the United States (GPUS) publicly calls for divestment from and boycott of the State of Israel until such time as the full individual and collective rights of the Palestinian people are realized.” www.gp.org

Born in Brooklyn, NY and studied psychiatry and medicine. Kovel is currently Professor of Social Studies at Bard College, NY.

As an activist, Joel Kovel has been engaged in struggles for peace and justice since the Vietnam War era. He has worked within the antiwar and anti-nuclear movements, the solidarity movements in Central America and the Caribbean, the movements for democratic media, and, increasingly, for ecological transformation.

author of ‘Overcoming Zionism ‘
‘This book is absolutely fundamental for those who reject the unfortunate confusion between Jews, Judaism, Zionism and the State of Israel –’
Samir Amin, director of the Third World Forum
