DESCRIPTION:As regional tensions escalate and the humanitarian catastrophe worsens, we 
 will reflect on what this moment means for the people of Gaza and the 
 region. A year later, are we headed towards an all out regional 
 conflagration and if so, how will the U.S. respond? What has been the 
 impact on the struggle for Palestinian freedom? How has the Palestinian 
 diaspora responded to the trauma of Gaza’s devastation? Join us to hear 
 our speakers respond to these questions and more at our Zoom webinar 
 on:\n\nLaila El-Haddad is an award-winning Palestinian author, social
