Palestinians have a long history of resistance to
Israeli occupation, backed by immense solidarity from ordinary people across the Middle East and the world. Just like in South
Africa, a struggle can be built to bring down the brutal, undemocratic Israeli regime and fight for a state with equal rights for
all. Come join us for a discussion of this history and the questions facing us today.
full description & details:
While Israeli and American officials celebrate the 60th anniversary of Israel's founding this year, the Palestinian people
mourn al-Nakba -- the catastrophe. In order to make way for a Jewish-only state, thousands of Palestinians were massacred and
over 750,000 forcibly expelled from their homes, never given the right to return. Unfortunately the catastrophe of Israeli
apartheid continues to this day. Since the democratic election of Hamas, Israel has subjected Palestinians to collective
punishment—escalating military attacks, expanding illegal settlements and turning the occupied territories into giant prison
camps, cut off from vital food and medical necessities. Nonetheless, the Palestinians have a long history of resistance to
Israeli occupation, backed by immense solidarity from ordinary people across the Middle East and the world. Just like in South
Africa, a struggle can be built to bring down this brutal, undemocratic regime and fight for a state with equal rights for
all. Come join us for a discussion of this history and the questions facing us today.
