Gaza: A Microcosm Of Palestine

Gaza: A Microcosm Of Palestine

The collective struggle for a ‘Free Palestine’ in the face of ethnic cleansing and an expanding genocide

• How is the genocide in Gaza impacting the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem?
• How is the regional geopolitics in the middle east informing the Palestinian Authority’s policies in the occupied West Bank?
• How has been the role of the media in portraying the Palestinian narrative in the West?
• Has International Law been rendered obsolete when it comes to the question of Palestine?
• Given the unconditional American and Western support, has the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement been an effective tool in pressuring the Israeli regime?
• How does the genocide in Gaza factor in envisioning the future of a liberated Palestine? What are the main obstacles in the way of such a vision?
