Event Description:

The October 7th attack on Israel ignited a war on Gaza that claimed the lives of over 25000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. In the meantime, Israeli soldiers repeatedly entered towns and refugee camps in the West Bank killing and arresting hundreds of Palestinians while Israeli settlers launched attacks on Palestinian farmers and the passerby. The talk will explore the root causes of violence in Palestine and offers a personal account of Palestinian life under occupation. Join us to learn more about what you can do to end the cycle of violence.
