Talk: A discussion on the Palestinian Nakba and The Struggle to Decolonize Israel

Join us as activists Eitan and Eléonore lead us in a reflection on their book: Nakba - The Struggle to Decolonize Israel. The Nakba is something which was, for a long time, not discussed in Israel and it took 15 years of struggle to place discussion of this subject at the centre of Israeli discours. This was the front line of a battle against an established colonial narrative which started at the end of the 19th century and which continues to this day. Register here to join this event!
