Read Palestine Week

Growing up in the US, I had a very Israel-centric upbringing. This is characterized by my Western education and surroundings, even though I knew more Palestinians than Israelis growing up.

In the midst of this war and genocide that has been going on long before I was born, I am seeking to learn the truth. Earlier this year, I read The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler-Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017 and The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine. I highly recommend both.

In this short narrative, we learn more about the current state of Palestine. Apartheid is always wrong. So is genocide. So too, I gather, are the Oslo Accords. They are mentioned frequently here, and clearly aren't being followed.

How long will we stand by? Will we let what is happening to Palestine happen to Lebanon? Who is next? Settler colonialism must not prevail.
