Upcoming Speaker – John Friend-Pereira: Reflection on Israel/Palestine
15 August 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST
Join us to hear from member John Friend- Pereira. Unfortunately, our programmed speaker Susan Bergman OAM has had to reschedule due to illness, but we assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
John Friend-Pereira was based in the West Bank city of Hebron divided to accommodate 500 Israeli settlers among 180,000 Palestinians. Movement restrictions have led to the closure of 850 Palestinian businesses there and children’s journey to school entails long delays at checkpoints. John took time to listen to Israelis in Sderot, an Israeli town frequently hit by rockets fired by Palestinian militant groups.

Dinner is available in the RSL Bistro.
Please note non-Rotary club members will need to book separately if they wish to have dinner following the meeting as the venue only sets aside a limited number of seats for members. It is always better to book extras just in case.
