Martin Cohen book launch: Israel-Palestine and the case for one state

Martin Cohen is launching his new book at Stade Hall on Wednesday 11 November, with the talk starting at 7pm. The book is called Israel-Palestine and The Case for One State: The Theft of a People's Land, Lives and Identity, published by Anthem Press, and the evening is hosted by the Hastings & District Palestine Solidarity Campaign. After the talk, there's a Palestinian vegan buffet by Arta.

Cohen is a bestselling philosophy writer who's put out more than 20 books, with over a million copies sold and translations into 20 languages. His two biggest hits, 101 Philosophy Problems and 101 Ethical Dilemmas, sold more than 750,000 copies between them. He was born in Brighton and returned to the East Sussex coast eighteen months ago after years working in Australia, France and Yorkshire.

This new book takes an uncompromising look at the foundational philosophies of the Israeli state. It's already been accepted as a recommended text on the Arab studies course at Exeter University, and it's drawn praise from Israeli academic Ilan Pappé and American-Palestinian writer Yahia Lababidi. The night is built around the book launch, so you'll hear Cohen talk through the work before the buffet takes over.

Entry is £5 per person, and the whole thing kicks off at 7pm at Stade Hall.
