LAST Friday evening saw an informative and lively education meeting, co-hosted by the Marx Memorial Library (MML) and Liberation, at which Dr Ofer Cassif — a member of the Israeli Knesset and representative of the Hadash/Ta’al alliance — addressed the audience at the MML, as well as those watching via a live feed.
Cassif is well-known in Israel for his campaigning against the policies of the Israeli governments for decades.
During the First Intifada (December 1987 to September 1993), he was the first person to refuse to serve in the Occupied Territories, for which he was imprisoned in total four times.
