The struggle for justice in Israel can often feel like a losing game.
Just in the last month we’ve seen the IDF begin the expulsion of over 1,000 Palestians from their homes in the Masafer Yatta region of the West Bank and the death of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, all against the backdrop of an ongoing political crisis as Israeli citizens prepare for a fifth round of elections in four years.
Despite the ongoing struggles, on the ground exists a vibrant civil society and activist community who are continuing the fight for justice and equality.
Join us for an in-person conversation with Tel Aviv-based activists, Ori Kol and Em Hilton, to hear their insights on these issues as well as a lively discussion on digital mobilising, the state of left in Israel-Palestine, anti-occupation activism and more.
Drinks and nibbles will be from 6pm with the conversation kicking off at 6:30pm, followed by a Q&A so come with any questions about Israel, Palestine and activism that you’ve been wrestling with.
This event is exclusively for our New Gen supporters in their 20s and 30s.
