We are very concerned to hear Professor @HaimBresh was arrested yesterday after having spoken at an @IJAN_Network demonstration. Our unwavering solidarity with Professor Bresheeth who we were honoured to host in February w/ @ghadakarmi.
Watch our webinar youtu.be/8B6JHawmgOE?si=2cTX…
Absolutely disgusted that the British police have arrested highly respected, world-renowned academic Prof Haim Bresheeth after he spoke at the @IJAN_Network demo against Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Htovely.
Haim is an incredibly knowledgeable, anti-Zionist Israeli Jew who is one of the world's top experts on the IDF. Needless to say Haim vehemently opposes the #genocide in #Gaza
Here is an excerpt from another interview featuring Haim
