Zecharya Baumel, missing since 1982
Zvi Feldman, missing since 1982
Yehuda Katz, missing since 1982
Ron Arad, missing since 1986
Guy Hever, missing since 1997

FOI with Mr. Hillel NEuer

On Thursday, September 15^th, in preparation for the Palestinian Authority unilateral declaration of statehood at the United Nations, Tufts Friends of Israel invited Mr. Hillel Neuer to address the community on the topics of the U.N.’s differential treatment of Israel and whether the Palestinians would benefit from seeking recognition. The event was extremely successful with 80 people attending.

Neuer is the executive director of UN Watch, a human rights NGO in Geneva, Switzerland. He appears regularly before the UN Human Rights Council, intervening for the victimes of Darfurt, the rights of women, political prisoners in Cuba, Russia and Zimbabwe and the cause of Middle East peace.

This event was co-sponsered by the Political Science Department, the International Relations Department, and Tufts Hillel.
