[Jewish] Getting Hagit Ofran to come to Hampshire next month!

[Stephanie Chase]

Hi everyone!
 I know that there has been a lot of tension in Israel and Palestine
right now, but I received an e-mail from the director of the UPZ
(Union of Progressive Zionists)  about how  Israeli peace activist,
Hagit Ofran will be touring US campuses between the dates of April 1 –
18th.
   I wanted to know if we could work together to bring her in.
    The director of the UPZ  said that we should pay around $200-$400.
The director of UPZ said that she was not sure if Hagit would be
comming to Massachusetts, but if transportation is the problem, we
could pay for her transportation (ie: bus).
   So please let me know ASAP about what people think.
      Please either e-mail me or call my cell phone:
         e-mail: Stephanie.Chase1987 at gmail.com
             cell: (508) 868-6822
                 Thanks
                 Take Care,
                   Stephanie

  Below is some more information about Hagit:


   Hagit Ofran runs Peace Now's Settlement Watch, which "monitors –
and protests, the building of settlements, including housing tenders,
expropriation of lands, budget allocations, and the like, along with
studying settlers attitudes regarding possible evacuation (and
compensation) in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.  Known for their
credibility and reliability, the data and maps produced in the
framework of this project have raised public awareness of the terrible
price Israel is paying for these obstacles to peace.  Indeed one of
the objectives of Peace Now is to convey the sense of the harm
incurred to Israel not only by the economic and political aspects of
continued occupation, but also the moral damage done to the values and
fabric of Israeli society – in addition to the untold hardship
incurred on another people, the Palestinians."  More information on
