Doha Debates - The Palestinian Right Of Return

Post by faceless »

Has anyone seen this? I found it on a torrent site and I'm just converting it to a reasonable size and fixing the audio lag for upload. It features Ilan Pappe on the panel and looks like it's going to be very interesting.

Sounds like an excellent find. Well done faceless.

FYI, a recent BBC report on same subject :

https://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/wor ... 506101.stm
"Palestinians cling to 'right of return'"


p.s. Looks like the debate took place on 28th March 2007 (i.e. a day before the above BBC report. I wish they mentioned it).

A few press mentions are here -- though don't click unless you want to know the result of the debate

Nice one. I don't know how anyone could deny Palestinians the right to return when some of them are still clutching the deeds to their property after nearly 60 years.

you should get hold of a stream saver program like Stream Down

if you copy that .asx file address that I posted earlier in it will then save the wmv file for you.

NORMAN FINKELSTEIN TO DEBATE AT OXFORD UNION. For additional information, see www.thedohadebates.com

The Doha Debates at the Oxford Union

04.24.2007 | The Doha Debates

The Doha Debates have been invited to hold an event at the Oxford Union - the world famous debating society of Oxford University - on the 1st of May.

The motion to be debated will be: This House believes the pro-Israeli lobby has successfully stifled Western debate about Israel's actions.

A group of students from Qatar will travel with the Doha Debates team to Oxford University to participate as audience members.

This will be the first Doha Debate to be held outside Qatar.

Norman Finkelstein has been invited, this should be brilliant! hope someone can cap it, I think it will be on BBC news 24 but it might only be on World service..
