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

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

play SAHMATAH, co-written with Hanna Eady, has been

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
