Dear friend of Arkadia,
You are invited to “From apartheid to democracy, or Why I don’t like the Israel/Palestine conflict” by Syksy Räsänen on Friday 22.3 at 6pm at Arkadia (Nervanderinkatu 11)
Syksy’s recent article on the one state solution in Ulkopolitiikka (inFinnish) can be read here:

It is often thought that the only solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict will consists of setting up a Palestinian state alongside Israel (or that the conflict is completely intractable!). However, recently a solution in the form of a single democratic state has become more prominent.
This talk will go through a bit of the history and the present situation in Israel/Palestine and the one state solution – and how to get there.
The talk will be in English and no previous knowledge is assumed! All are welcome to join the discussion.
Warm regards,
Ian
