Ehud Olmert Protest at Union College
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
There is a planned protest against the appearance of former Israeli prime-minister Ehud Olmert at Union College in Schenectady. Olmert was prime-minister at the time of the Winter Attack (2008/9) on Gaza. The talk is scheduled to start at 7PM in the Nott Memorial Chapel. Olmert is purportedly being paid $25,000 by the college. Access to the event is restricted, so the protest gathering may start several hours before the event.

and Veterans For Peace. The delegation met with government officials, educational institutions, NGOs, student groups, cultural centers, medical institutions, and ordinary citizens to learn about Gaza. Elliott will present photos of his trip and lead a discussion of current events at the Thursday meeting.

"New" Neighbors For Peace Website coming (as) soon (as possible)!
Currently, our website is undergoing a complete redesign and upgrade. Since this is all done as volunteer project, we can't tell you exactly when this effort will be complete.
We started this website project because a group of Guilderland Neighbors decided to start their own Neighbors For Peace Group in 2006 modeled on the very successful Bethlehem Neighbors For Peace Group in Bethlehem, NY.
