How did a “real estate dispute” tip-off rockets and bombing that killed 269 people, including 68 children, in Israel/Palestine? What happened in Sheikh Jarrah, and how does it fit into the wider context of the conflict? What might Israel’s new government mean for the occupation?
In the wake of Sheikh Jarrah, the recent violence and a new government in Israel, much has changed in the last six weeks. You might be feeling—as many of us do—that you don’t know enough to participate in the conversation. We at NIFC New Generations want to change that.
This was the first event in our new speaker series which will bring you to speed on a range of issues that have crystallized into the current situation in Palestine/Israel—starting with the forced expulsions in Sheikh Jarrah. In future sessions, we’ll cover such key topics as 1948 and the Nakba; 1967 and the Occupation; Oslo, Israeli Settlements and Annexation; Jerusalem; the Blockade of Gaza; the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions movement; and the conversation on Apartheid. Bring all the questions you’ve wanted to ask, and leave with renewed understanding.
