Maha will discuss the Ongoing Nakba (“Catastrophe” in Arabic), from the forcible displacement and dispossession of the Indigenous Palestinian people by Israel between 1947 and 1949, through to the situation today with Israel’s extremist government seemingly intent completing the settler-colonial project their antecedents began.

Maha will shed light on the struggle faced by Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid and occupation, explore the steadfast resistance demonstrated by the Palestinian people for three quarters of a century, and the pressing need for global solidarity and international action in pursuit of justice and freedom.

Join us for an evening of enlightening discussions and critical analysis, as we strive to deepen our understanding of the Nakba as an ongoing process, and the importance of international solidarity in the struggle for Palestinian rights.

This event is open to all individuals who are passionate about human rights, justice, and peace. Whether you are an activist, scholar, student, or concerned citizen, your presence and engagement will contribute to fostering a better understanding around this crucial topic.
