Courtney's talk and slides will trace the historical context and current conditions for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip over the last 10 years. Last November, he traveled to the region with a delegation affiliated with the Fellowship of Reconcilliation, Christian Peacemakers Team, and the Israeli Campaign for Secure Dwellings. Courtney has also taken trips with The Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee, The New Jewish Agenda, and Voices in the Wilderness. Courtney also organized a delegation of emergency eye doctors to treat Palestinian children whose eyes had been shot out by rubber bullets. His work in the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Strip continues from activist work earlier in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Cuba, South Africa, Vietnam and Northern Ireland.
