Join the Midwestern Marx Institute as we continue to Educate Against Genocide in Palestine. For 75 years, the Palestinian people have been resisting US-backed Israeli displacement and ethnic cleansing. A holocaust in motion now looms over 1.1 million children and 2.3 million civilians in Gaza.
Since October 7th, we have conducted 6 online classes to educate students about anti-Zionism and anti-colonial struggles. We are now extending the series for 5 additional weeks to be led by anti-imperialist educators, journalists, and organizers. We will continue to look at these and other pivotal questions:
- What does the latest “ceasefire” mean? Can it last? What attempts at a principled peace have failed in past decades and why?
- How do we stand shoulder to shoulder with our anti-Zionist Jewish sisters and brothers and the Palestinian leadership on the frontlines of struggle?
- What role is civil disobedience playing in stopping Israel’s genocidal violence?
- What are the social roots and ideology behind Hamas? What other forms of leadership has the Palestinian struggle had historically?
- How is this war on Palestine a media and informational war?
- How do we understand this genocidal violence in the context of a world and a Middle East still dominated militarily by U.S. imperialism?
Prerequisites: None. Open to anyone looking to further their understanding of the Palestinian national liberation struggle. Parallel to this study group we are collectively reading Hamas Contained by Dr. Tareq Baconi.
Schedule: Thursdays at 8 PM EST on the following dates: November 30th, December 7th, December 14th, December 21st, December 28th. All sessions held online, Zoom link sent upon enrollment.
Cost: Sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds.
