In fact, it was just this month that Martin Luther King III — MLK’s eldest son — and Rajmohan Gandhi — one of Mahatma Gandhi’s grandchildren — visited the West Bank to support the nonviolent resistance movement.It is in this spirit that Anna Baltzer, a Jewish-American Columbia graduate and the granddaughter of Holocaust refugees, will be speaking today at 7 p.m. in the Miller Learning Center room 102, hosted by Athens for Justice in Palestine.

Baltzer, a volunteer with the International Women’s Peace Service in the West Bank and author of the book “Witness in Palestine,” will present her first-hand, eyewitness reports on the conflict, focusing on what Georgians can do for peace in the Holy Land.But it isn’t just Palestinians and Israelis who can make a difference and join the movement. In Atlanta and Athens, Palestinian solidarity groups have organized concerts, speaking events and demonstrations highlighting America’s significant involvement in the conflict.
