International perspectives on apartheid and decolonization in Palestine
Jump To
Susan M. Akram will speak at the International perspectives on apartheid and decolonization in Palestine conference on Saturday, February 4 from 09:30 to 17:30 GMT (04:30am to 5:30pm EST). The conference is put on by The Muslim Times, and is being held in Westminster, United Kingdom.
The Palestinian quest for freedom and independence is arguably the last of the great anti- colonial struggles. It is, in every respect, a response to Zionist settler colonialism, which was premised on the racist notion of the ‘white man’s burden’ to civilize the darker races.
After its establishment on 78% of historic Palestine in 1948, Israel has worked assiduously to prevent the emergence of a Palestinian state in the remaining 22%. Instead, it has deliberately created an apartheid reality in which two peoples occupy the same land but with one people, Israelis, totally dominating the other.
This conference examines at all aspects of the Palestinian reality under the three broad themes of apartheid, genocide and decolonization. It seeks to initiate a dialogue that will foster greater international cooperation for the full attainment of Palestinian national rights.
