DESCRIPTION:The Israeli genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem continues. 
 And so does Palestinian resistance, in all its forms. And huge 
 demonstrations around the world that call for Palestinian 
 freedom.\n\nMeanwhile, Western corporate media conveys an Israeli narrative 
 that portrays the mass murder and injury of tens of thousands of 
 Palestinians as justified rather than as criminal. It ignores the 
 deliberate targeting of civilians, destruction of homes, hospitals, 
 schools, and infrastructure, and the blocking of food, water, fuel, 
 electricity, and medicine. It erases the 100 year context of ethnic 
 cleansing that has led to this moment.\n\nThis webinar will debunk that 
 narrative, place the uprising of October 7 and the subsequent accelerated 
 genocide of Palestinians in their proper context, and speak to the brutal 
 realities on the ground. It will describe the scope of Israeli crimes, the 
 multi-faceted nature of Palestinian resistance, and a view of what may lie 
 ahead.\n\nPresenter\nProfessor Mazin Qumsiyeh was born and raised under 
 Israeli occupation in Beit Sahour, the biblical Shepherds’ Field just on 
 the outskirts of Bethlehem. That is where he now lives.\n\nHe has been on 
 faculties at the University of Tennessee, Duke, and Yale. In 2008, he and 
 his wife returned to Palestine, starting a number of institutions and 
 projects such as a clinical genetics laboratory that serves cancer and 
 other patients. In 2014, they founded and now run the Palestine Institute 
 for Biodiversity and Sustainability (PIBS) at Bethlehem 
 University.\nProfessor Qumsiyeh has published over 160 scientific papers, 
 over 30 book chapters, and several books on topics ranging from cultural 
 heritage to human rights to biodiversity conservation to cancer. Notably, 
 his books include Sharing the Land of Canaan: Human rights and the 
 Israeli/Palestinian Struggle and Popular Resistance in Palestine: A History 
 of Hope and Empowerment.\n\nHe has given hundreds of talks in 45 countries 
 around the world and has been interviewed regularly on TV and radio. 
 Appearances in US media have included the Washington Post, New York Times, 
 Boston Globe, CNBC, C-Span, and ABC, among others.\n
