DESCRIPTION:On top of the barbaric violence wielded against the Palestinian people of 
 Gaza, Israel’s genocidal assault has thrust us into a war of propaganda 
 where language has been weaponized to suppress truth and delegitimize the 
 Palestinian liberation struggle. In Palestine, Al Jazeera has been banned 
 by Israel. In America, Congress has passed a bill that, if turned into law, 
 would codify criticism of Israel as an act of antisemitism. Even aid 
 organizations shy away from naming what’s happening in Gaza as a 
 genocide, opting for apolitical euphemisms such as “humanitarian 
 crisis” or “conflict.” \n\nLanguage, when used with intention and 
 precision, is a powerful tool and vehicle for resistance. It forms the 
 backbone of advocacy that shifts the status quo. This is why Israel 
 systematically assassinates Palestinian journalists, writers, and 
 intellectuals. \n\nIn a time where misinformation, falsehoods, and outright 
 lies are enabling death and destruction of epic proportions, it’s 
 imperative that we seek, uplift, and learn from leaders that do the 
 courageous work of speaking truth to power and guide others to follow 
 suit.\n\nJoin us for a conversation with Inès Abdel Razek, Executive 
 Director of the Palestinian Institute for Public Diplomacy (PIPD) and 
 it’s digital platform Rabet, and Aimee Shalan, Director of Makan to learn 
 how they equip communities around the world with advocacy skills to further 
 the Palestinian struggle for liberation. This conversation will be 
 moderated by Anam Raheem, BuildPalestine’s Global Community Organizer.\n
