Town-Hall discussion听( 4-6pm)

This event is the fourth in a series of town-hall discussions, this one co-organised by 果冻影院 Middle East Research Centre, , 听补苍诲 听

This panel focuses on the impact of what experts are calling "a textbook case of genocide" on Palestinian children and childhood. Panellists will explore how young Palestinians are both targeted and used by political Zionism to build, maintain, and justify the Israeli ethno-nation. They will bring their expertise on childhood to discuss the implications for solidarity 鈥� both how the supposedly ultra deserving figure of the child as victim falls apart when it comes to Palestine and the problematics of tying solidarity movements to accounts of the exceptionalism of childhood.
