The Islamic Human Rights Commission and NEDA hosted a one-day conference in July 2006 to provide an opportunity for peoples of many different confessional backgrounds (and none) to listen to and interrogate some of the ideas of academics and activists who have opposed Zionism and who hail from Jewish backgrounds. This conference was supported by The 1990 Trust, Crescent International, Friends of Al-Aqsa, Innovative Minds, Islam Channel, Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought, Justice for Palestine Committee, Muslim Weekly, and Neturei Karta.
The first panel looked at ‘The Religious Case against Zionism’ and featured Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of New York, Rabbi Ahron Cohen of Manchester, and Professor Yakov Rabkin of Montreal.
This program was produced by the Islamic Human Rights Commission for July 2, 2006.
