Palestine 101 (2023)
The movement to liberate Palestine has been revitalized and expanded in the wake of the Hamas attack of October 7th and the Israeli response in the occupied Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem and West Bank, as well as in Israel itself. How did we get here? In this session, we’ll go over the basics of the history of Palestine, Zionism and the founding of Israel, and the movement to liberate Palestine including the variety of strategies and tactics that has entailed such as the call for Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS.) Whether you are new to this issue and looking for an accessible entry into it, or a more experienced person looking for a stronger foundation, come learn with us.
This session was led by Andrew Kadi, an organizer with over two decades of experience pressing for Palestinian rights.
