Place: Room 2118, Sidney Smith Hall, 100 St.George St.

In his latest book, Kovel argues that the inner contradictions of
Zionism have led Israel to a "state-sponsored racism" fully as
incorrigible as that of apartheid South Africa and deserving of the
same resolution. He argues that only a path toward single-state
secular democracy can provide the justice essential to healing the
wounds of the Middle East. The book will be available for sale at the
event.
