Combatants for Peace to Visit Oakton

Alternatives to war in the Middle East will be considered at 12 p.m., Friday, Nov. 3, at Oakton Community College, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie.

The discussion features Yonatan Shapira and Bassam Aramin, members of Combatants for Peace, a group comprised of individuals formerly active in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Shapira is a former captain of the Israeli Air Force Reserves; Aramin is a former member of the Fatah, better known as the Palestine National Liberation Movement.

This event is sponsored by Honors at Oakton, Oakton Educators for Social Responsibility, and the Department of History and Policy Studies, in conjunction with Faculty for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (FFIPP). FFIPP-USA is an American-based network dedicated to educating the academic community and promoting a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
