We presented the second in a series of highlights from the third annual Palestine Lives Conference, held March 31, 2007 at McMaster University in Hamilton. The conference was organized by SPHR Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights, a student group on campus, and brought together activists and academics from across Canada. Excerpts of the presentation on Canadian foreign policy and Palestine by Hanna Kawas were played.
