Join the Boycott Israeli Apartheid
Campaign<http://boycottisraeliapartheid.org/> for
a film screening and discussion focusing on the impact of development NGOs
and international donor governments and agencies on the Palestinian
liberation struggle.

*Film Screening: *"Donor Opium. The impact of foreign aid to Palestine,"
directed by Mariam Shahin and George Azar

For twenty years now the international donor community has financially
supported Palestinian institutions, the police, and the bigger part of the
civil society organizations. Peace and the establishment of a democratic
Palestinian state have been the declared goals of all this support. But
actual results are the fragmentation and pacification of the Palestinian
people. "Donor Opium" explores this impact.
