Fadi Quran - The Palestinian Freedom Riders (2011)

Palestianian activists inspired by the civil rights movement in the 1960s have been arrested after catching an Israeli-operated bus in the West Bank. Fadi Quran, a nonviolent activist from Palestine, spoke to students about his participation in the 2011 Palestinian freedom rides as part of a talk held by Students For Palestinian Equal Rights (SPER) at Stanford University on April 16, 2012. Joining Fadi to speak about the role of nonviolent activism in finding a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were Clarence Jones, US Civil Rights movement lawyer and speech writer for Martin Luther King, Jr., and Allen Weiner, co-director of the Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation.
