Conference given by journalist Ramzy Baroud as part of Palestine Week, which we have organized to commemorate the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. The event was streamed live on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmo9dko8ozA Spring 2021, East Jerusalem: outbreaks of youth violence at the Damascus Gate escalate with evictions of Palestinian residents in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. The mainstream international media portray these final days in the month of Ramadan as a supposed “escalation of violence” with political dimensions in Gaza and the West Bank, but also having ties to the Palestinians of 1948 in Israel. These events have given momentum to a resistance movement that seeks change in society, not only against the Israeli occupation and its various annexations, but also against factionalism in Palestinian politics. What is the nature of the new forms of Palestinian resistance today? Who are the main role-players? What are the challenges they face and what are their prospects for success? Within the framework of Palestine Week, Casa Árabe has organized this talk with Ramzy Baroud, editor of The Palestine Chronicle. He will be holding a conversation with Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal, coordinator of the Middle East and North Africa Panel at the Alternativas Foundation, and Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe’s International Relations Coordinator. Ramzy Baroud is a Palestinian-American journalist and editor of The Palestine Chronicle. He has also been editor-in-chief of the Middle East Eye and deputy editor-in-chief of Al Jazeera Online. He is the author of approximately twenty books, which include: The Second Palestinian Intifada: A Chronicle of a People’s Struggle (Pluto Press, London, 2006); The Last Earth, a Palestinian Story (Pluto Press, London, 2018) and These Chains Will Be Broken: Palestinian Stories of Struggles and Defiance in Israeli Prisons (Clarity Press, 2020).
