From Sheikh Jarrah to Gaza: The Enduring Palestinian Refugee Crisis

Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iFd24f4LTqK4c0CuhaU21g

Details:  Recent events in the Sheikh Jarrah, sparked by the forced eviction of eight Palestinian families, have called the world’s attention—yet again—to the enduring conflict in Israel-Palestine. Today, the effects of what Palestinians call the Nakba, or ‘catastrophe,’ continue through occupation, blockades, violence, dispossession of property, and loss of homeland. The situation is complex, contentious, and volatile.
Sheikh Jarrah is home to a significant population of refugees displaced by the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. How has the recent escalation in violence impacted this already vulnerable population? What legal justification does Israel have for the forced eviction of Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah and elsewhere? Can there be a just solution to this enduring crisis?
Join Yahav Zohar and Mohammad Barakat, two Jerusalemites and working partners in the Green Olive Collective, for a special webinar to discuss the complex issue of refugees in Israel-Palestine.
