HOPE -PALESTINIANS- HOST : STUDENTS PRECIS

 

FOR Palestinians there is an opportunity for a different future. All attempts to silence Palestinians voices are themselves a response to one of the Palestinians' most powerful tools : the global recognition of the justice of their cause.

Unlike in 1948, when the state of Israel was founded and hundreds and thousands of Palestinians were expelled or fled, or in 1967, when Israel occupied Palestinian lands after the Arab-Israel war, TODAY there is an international solidarity movement committed to Palestinian liberation.

'' It's mobilized like never before. ''

The persistence of protests on university campuses across North America and Europe in particular despite the repressions and smears often wielded against them, highlight the profound generational change in how many in West view the issue, from a dominantly pro-Israeli narrative to one more focused on Palestinian rights and humanity.
