Tuesday should be an exciting day for San Jose State students interested in Israel issues.
OneVoice, a group of Israeli and Palestinian young adults, will speak at SJSU in the Martin Luther King Library from noon to 1:30 p.m. OneVoice’s international educational program pairs up activists from Israel and the Palestinian territories and brings them to campuses to discuss working together. The members of OneVoice say they seek to break down divides between different groups and present the “silent majority of moderates who wish for peace and prosperity� in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Just a half-hour later, there will be a lecture hosted by a group called Students for Change, which is not listed as a student organization by the university. However, the room is reserved under the name “Students for Democracy,� which is run by a student who has been outspoken in his disapproval of Israel with fellow students. Israeli and Jewish students plan on attending the event in the Pacifica Room of the Student Union.
