The Israel Society at SOAS is a platform for open and critical discussion of Israel. Through events, writings and monthly meetings we look beyond the boundaries of the conflict to explore the interplay of social, political, economic and cultural dimensions in Israeli society.

Catchup meeting: African refugee protests, Sharon’s legacy, Prawer Plan
We’ll be having our first meeting of term Wednesday, 22nd January, 6 – 8pm.
We will be discussing recent events in Israel/ Palestine (and there’s been plenty!), including:
– The recent strike and protest movement of African refugees in Israel calling for fair treatment and asylum policies – “no more prisons”
– The Prawer Plan for the displacement of 30,000 Bedouin from the Negev – what was it, what were responses to it, what’s going on now
– Ariel Sharon’s death and his contested legacy
– anything else you would like to discuss
You can join the fb event and see some related readings here https://www.facebook.com/events/1397510887167224/
It’s a good opportunity to meet us in a quite informal meeting if you’ve never been to a SOASIS event before, and we will also end with a short organising meeting to plan future events, so if you have any ideas, let us know!
Room 116, main building of SOAS Russell Sq campus. As always, our events are wheelchair accessible (please contact us if you have any access requirements we can help with) and open to all, but racism or prejudice of any kind will not be tolerated.
