Manama joins more than 250 cities worldwide by hosting Bahrain’s first ‘Israel Apartheid Week’ (IAW), beginning today and running until Saturday April 4. IAW events take place across the globe annually, with the aim of raising awareness about Israel’s policies towards Palestinians. The diverse programme kicks off tonight at 7.30pm in Al Oruba Club, Juffair, with a talk entitled: ‘Al Nakba and a Return to Jaffa’. The event promises to bring a human perspective to the Palestine issue.
Prominent Bahraini of Palestinian origin Adnan Sharabi will speak alongside his daughter Yasmin about the experience of leaving Palestine, and the next generation’s return to a lost homeland.
