SUMMARY:Chapel Hill: Direct from the Refugee Camps - Stateless Palestinians from Lebanon Tell Their Story
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 7\n7:00 pm\nChurch of Reconciliation\n110 N. Elliott Rd\nChapel Hill\, NC\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/315880448931249/ \nFeaturing journalist and great granddaughter of Nakba survivors\, Amena Ashkar and 89 yr old Nakba survivor\, Mariam Fathalla whose ancient Palestinian village al Zeeb was leveled. \nTime stopped in 1948 for the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Many of them and their descendants live in the same refugee camps created when the Zionist forces expelled them from their villages. Stateless and without the benefits of citizenship\, these vulnerable Palestinian refugees have very few rights decades later in Lebanon\, where they continue to be denied basic civil rights as well as their most fundamental right: The right to return to their homeland which Israel prevents. \nSponsored by: The Coalition for Peace with Justice and AIME\nHosted by: Salaam Shalom Support Group
