Palestine Information
Project presents their popular
 PALESTINE
FOR BEGINNERS, a fast-moving guide to the roots of conflict, the key
historical and current events, and the characters and motivations
behind the ongoing crisis.
Filmed before a live audience and professionally edited, PALESTINE
FOR BEGINNERS is a 60 minute presentation with an additional 10
minutes of Q&A, all divided into chapters (see margin on the right)
for reference and classroom use.
Linda Bevis and Edward Mast have developed and presented PALESTINE
FOR BEGINNERS for several years, updating constantly as the
situation changes. Linda Bevis is an attorney who lived for several
years in the West Bank working with a human rights organization. She
currently teaches World History at the high school level. Edward
Mast is a playwright and performer whose play SAHMATAH, co-written
with Hanna Eady, has been playing in the Middle East and Europe
since 1998. Linda and Edward have done human rights work, together
and separately, in Northern Ireland, Central America and the former
Soviet Union, and in 2002 they jointly received the annual human
rights award of the United Nations Association of Seattle.
Linda and Edward are among the co-founders of Palestine Information
Project, a Seattle organization which creates educational materials
and presentations about human rights issues in Israel/Palestine and
about the US role in the conflict.
Reviews
“I actually fought off tears more than once during the presentation.
I am determined to carry this message forward and will do my best to
give my heart to the spirit behind this effort."
-- Mark B. Wilson
“The longer I have reflected on your presentation, the more I am
convinced that it was the single most useful, concise, interesting
and complete discussion of the topic I have encountered in several
years of paying close attention to Palestine/Israel issues.”
-- Bruce Bowden
