  • – for Immediate Release –
    – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Renowned Israeli human rights journalist Amira Hass on tour in Canada, Sept. 27 – Oct. 11 Montreal, September 22, 2011—Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) and KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives are pleased to announce that they will co-host a lecture tour by renowned Israeli journalist Amira Hass from September 27 to October 8. Hass, a journalist with the mainstream Israeli newspaper Haaretz since 1989, has been covering daily life in the occupied Palestinian territories (OPT) since 1991. She is the only Israeli journalist to have lived full-time in the OPT: Gaza from 1993 to 1997, and the West Bank since 1997. The tour will bring to Canada an important perspective and invite ongoing dialogue in hopes for peace. The tour – entitled ―Palestine / Israel: Fear of the Future‖ – will include Ms. Hass’ views as a journalist on Palestinian and Israeli concerns, Palestinians’ experiences under Israeli occupation, and other analysis of unfolding events, including the upcoming Palestinian bid for statehood. The tour dates are as follows: Sept. 27 – Victoria Oct. 1 – Saskatoon Oct. 7 – Ottawa Sept. 28 – Vancouver Oct. 4 – London Oct. 8 – Montréal Sept. 29 – Calgary Oct. 5 – Toronto (downtown) Oct. 11 -- Halifax Sept. 30 – Winnipeg Oct. 6 – Hamilton ―This is an opportune moment for Canadians to hear an incisive Israeli journalist analyse the Israel- Palestine dynamic and Israel’s reaction to the prospect of Palestinian statehood,‖ asserted Thomas Woodley, President of CJPME. KAIROS’Executive Director Mary Corkery states, ―Ms. Hass, as an Israeli citizen who covers the concerns of both Palestinians and Israelis, will offer Canadian audiences a chance to hear a perspective that seldom reaches us.‖.

  • An Interview with Eyal Weizman
    Sensible Politics: The Visual Culture of Nongovernmental Politics. Edited by Meg McLagan and Yates McKee. New York: Zone Books, 2012. Pp. 429-451. Forensic Architecture: An Interview with Eyal Weizman Yates McKee and Meg McLagan yates mckee: We would like to start by asking you to talk about the broader tra- jectory of your career. You first gained prominence in the architectural field when the exhibition you cocurated, A Civilian Occupation, was withdrawn as the sub- mission by the Israeli Architecture Association to the 2002 International Union of Architects Congress in Berlin. You were trained professionally as an architect and had a practice, but already in 2002 you were operating in relation to political and human rights activism. How did that come about? eyal weizman: I studied architecture at the Architecture Association School of Architecture in London and in 1996 spent my “year out” working in Tel Aviv. I wanted to volunteer for work at the Palestinian Ministry of Planning. It was the Oslo years, only a few months after [Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin was assas- sinated. The Ministry of Planning was on the seam between north Jerusalem and south Ramallah. I volunteered as a planner, but there was not much to do. The offices had large contingents of Norwegians who felt, I assume, responsible for the agreement that bore the name of their capital. I was doing all sorts of planning- assistant tasks, such as hand-rendering plans and so on, when at some point, the planners thought of a better use of my time. As an Israeli, I had access to carto - graphic information that was not otherwise made available to the Palestinians.

    COR0251 Supplementary written evidence submitted by Kelley Lee, Julianne Piper and Benoit Gomis, Pandemics and Borders Project, Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Canada (COR0251) WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE BORDER MANAGEMENT OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS? 1. The UK, and other countries with rising vaccination levels, are entering a challenging period in relation to border management. Increased vaccination means lower transmission and thus pressures to relax public health measures including increased travel domestically and abroad. At the same time, the volume of circulating virus globally, new variants continue to evolve, with those more transmissible and virulent, and/or vaccine-evasive VOC moving the goalposts on herd immunity. 2. Most disruptive would be if a partial-escape variant emerges, i.e., one able to infect a significant number of fully vaccinated people and cause severe disease. A recent study modelled different scenarios in Canada for vaccine coverage and efficacy. The most damaging, by far, was a partial-escape variant. COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths were predicted to be twice as high as the next most serious scenario.1 Even with 75% full vaccination of the total population (Canada’s present target for the end of the summer), a partial-escape variant could result in a fourth wave. Even at 90% full vaccination, the study showed a partial-escape variant would be disruptive. 3. Effective management of travel-related risks will thus be critical over next 12-18 months, particularly given slow progress on achieving global equity in access to vaccines. There are risks to the gains achieved from mass vaccination.
