Public Events & Webinars

Pro-Palestinian voices are often misrepresented and vilified by media outlets, perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Meanwhile, Israeli voices and policies are given far more airtime and far less criticism.

Palestinian speakers and artists discuss and share their stories, experiences and responses to the act of the Nakba in 1948 and highlight how it continues to this day with Israel's brutal genocide in Gaza.

The webinar will discuss the Hamas movement, its history and development, to make sense of what the events of 7 October 2024 were about.

In this third webinar, we debated specifically the silencing of Palestine and Palestinian voices. Though attempts to silence speech on Palestine and Palestinian voices is not new, there has been an intensification of repression across the West, particularly in parts of Europe, the UK and in the US. Some of this occurs though specific tools such as the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance ‘working definition’ of antisemitism (IHRA), which conflates criticism of Israel and Zionism with anti-Jewish racism.
