Recent developments in Israel-Palestine and the U.S. have brought even greater urgency to the Middle East conflict. The new Israeli government plans to annex 30% of Occupied Palestine in the Jordan Valley, hammering yet another nail into the coffin of the two-state solution. Questions to explore include
- when/whether the annexation will take place;
- will it matter whether it does or not;
- how the Palestinian solidarity movement should respond to the annexation.
- Do the recent developments offer any new approaches to advance the cause? Or simply strengthen existing ones like BDS?
The murder of George Floyd and the rising protest movement led by Black Lives Matter has highlighted the issue of intersectionality between the movements for social and racial justice in the U.S. and the international movement for Palestinian rights.
Each of our panelists has recently published a new book:
Paradigm Lost: From Two-State Solution to One State Reality, Lustick
The Hundred Years War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017, Khalidi
