You can either re-send Gush Shalom`s letter, with your endorsement, or compose a text of your own. You can look up the participants` web links, appearing here. When writing to Jean-Pierre Gauci it might be worthwhile to mention his being a board member and national coordinator for Malta of the European Network Against Racism, and with Breea C. Willingham - that she has extensively dealt with issues of ethnicity and race relations in the US, and with various issues dealing with the situation of Afro-Americans. This would seem incompatible with the two speaking at a settlement in an Occupied Territory. It might also be worthwhile to mention the call for boycotting Ariel by Israeli lecturers and Israeli artists. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4011006,00.html http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/150-academics-artists-back-actors-boycott-of-settlement-arts-center-1.311149 Email addresses - international participants: Jean-Pierre Gauci, King`s College, London or Dr. Jean-Pierre Gauci is Malta’s representative in the European Integration Forum and a He is director of the People for Change Foundation where his work is mainly research, advocacy and capacity building on migration, integration, asylum and human trafficking.
