Presented by RAIN – Resist Arms to Israel Now.

A New Hampshire company is connected to the machinery of war in Gaza. This presentation examines SIG Sauer’s military partnerships and weapons sales, including its reported collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries on an armed drone system.

Learn how local industry, public accountability, human rights, environmental harm, and the call for action come together—and what New Hampshire residents can do.

Bartov, an Israeli-American scholar and Dean Professor of Holocaust Studies at Brown University, was of the first Holocaust scholars to name Israeli’s actions in Gaza a genocide. Bartov served in the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1970s and studied at Tel Aviv University and Oxford. He will speak, answer question and sign his new book, Israel: What Went Wrong? The book, as well as Palestinian Olive Oil, will be available for purchase.

Prior to the Bartov’s 6:30 talk, there will be a 5:30 pot luck in which Karishma Manzur, the peace candidate who captured a third of the vote in the Democratic primary for US Senate, will say a few words.

Film synopsis:
Palestine ‘36 captures a defining era in Palestine’s history. Set in 1936 as villages across Mandatory Palestine rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. But history is relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe, and the Palestinian population uniting in the largest and longest uprising against Britain’s 30-year dominion, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Annemarie Jacir and shortlisted for an Academy Award®, Palestine ‘36 stars Hiam Abbas, Yasmine Al Massri, Jeremy Irons, Robert Aramayo, Saleh Bakri, and Liam Cunningham, whose powerful performances bring this important story to life.
