My Jerusalem: Responding to the U.S. Embassy Announcement
2018-02-28 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Winnipeg) | University of Winnipeg, Eckhardt Grammate Hall, Room 3C00
The United Nations partition plan of 1947, which drew the boundaries for the two States of Palestine and Israel, recognized the international nature of the City of Jerusalem, and called for it to be administered by the United Nations Trusteeship Council. For the next 70 years the international community recognized and supported the unique nature of Jerusalem. All of that changed on December 6th, 2017, when the U.S.A. announced that it would move its Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Jerusalem holds significant religious and spiritual importance to the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Please join us on Wednesday February 28th, 7:00 P.M. in Eckhardt-Gramatte Hall, University of Winnipeg, to hear from followers of these three religious traditions.
The panelists are:
Rabbi David Mivasair – is motivated by the Biblical command to “seek peace and pursue it” and lived in Jerusalem for four years.
Fadi Ennab – is a lecturer and educator on migration and anti-oppression and is a Palestinian-Canadian from an Arab-Christian background born and raised in the Middle East.
Dr. Idris Elbakri – was born in the city of Jerusalem and spent his formative years there, he has lived in Winnipeg for nearly 13 years and been active in a number of community initiatives including grassroots efforts to welcome Syrian refugees.
The panelists will share their personal reflections on what Jerusalem means to them and their religious tradition. The event is free and open to all.
The event is sponsored by: Canadian Arab Association of Manitoba, Global College – University of Winnipeg, Independent Jewish Voices – Winnipeg, Mennonite Central Committee – Manitoba, Peace Alliance Winnipeg, United Church Conference of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, United Jewish Peoples Order – Winnipeg, and United Network for Justice & Peace in Palestine & Israel.

North Korea & the Danger of Nuclear War (Evening Event)
2018-01-15 18:00 - 20:00 | University of Winnipeg, Eckhardt Grammate Hall, Room 3C00
Lecture by Michel Chossudovsky; hosted by Peace Alliance Winnipeg, Menno Simons College, and the Geopolitical Economy Research Group
Background
We are at a dangerous crossroads. Miscalculation could lead to the unthinkable. What distinguishes the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis from today’s crisis is that Kennedy and Khrushchev were acutely aware of the dangers of nuclear annihilation. Trump is not. “Mistakes” often determine the course of world history.
Prof. Chossudovsky returns for the first time in over a decade to engage the people of Winnipeg and discuss what can be done to stop this war.
Michel Chossudovsky is an award-winning author, Professor of Economics (emeritus) at the University of Ottawa, Founder and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), Montreal, and Editor of Global Research. He is the author of eleven books. His writings have been published in more than twenty languages.
FREE ADMISSION. Donations gratefully accepted. Q&A to follow lecture.
