Join the Boycott Israeli Apartheid Campaign 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.
