International Conference: “Equal Rights for All: A New Path for
Israel-Palestine?”, Birkbeck Institute, University of London, 14-16

ongoing situation in Israel-Palestine desperately requires radical new
thought. Shifting attention from discussions focused solely on a
one-or-two-state agreement, the fundamental
question this Conference seeks to address is how to achieve equal
rights for all who live in Palestine-Israel.
