Azmi Bishara, is an acclaimed international speaker, prolific writer, activist, academic and former member of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament).

The aim of the Israeli Apartheid Week is an international initiative to push forward the analysis of Israel as an apartheid state and to bolster support for the boycott, divestment, and sanctions of Israel campaign. The South African leg will culminate with this public rally in Soweto on Sunday. Attached find the poster advertising the event; if any further details are needed do not hesitate to contact us.
