Please join us to hear Mr. Khadir discussing how BDS directed at Israel is necessary for a just resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict, and how to overcome the obstacles to its implementation in Quebec, in a lecture entitled:

President and spokesperson for Québec solidaire with Françoise David, Amir Khadir was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in the riding of Mercier in the 2008 elections. A medical specialist, he has been active for many years in community-based work and international solidarity.
 
Because of his recent support for a boycott campaign against a Montreal shoe store carrying Israeli shoes, Mr. Khadir has been vigorously attacked by opponents of the boycott of Israel. Québec solidaire supports the BDS campaign and advocates a boycott of Israeli products, and public and commercial awareness.
