October 4th
University of Washington
Sieg Hall, Room 134 - 6:30 pm
Miko Peled is the son of the highly revered and influential Israeli General Matti Peled, architect and leader of the 1967 six-day war. His family was deeply steeped from the early 1900s in the Zionist concept of creating a Jewish state in Palestine. After the war, General Matti Peled made a plea for the "conquered" areas to be returned for the sake of security, equality, human rights and peace to the people from which it was taken stating that without doing so Israel would never have peace or security.
Miko Peled will speak about his personal journey and study of Israeli state archives to unveil and dispel the many mythical and commonly accepted "truths" about the history of the Palestine/Israeli struggle since 1947.
RSVP on Facebook. For more information please contact
Sponsors of Mr. Peled's Seattle appearances Include: Jewish Voices for Peace, Mideast Focus Ministry at St. Mark's Cathedral, SUPER UW, The Palestine Task Force of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, Kadima, Episcopal Bishop's Committee for Israel/Palestine, Palestine Solidarity Committee, American Friends Service Committee.
