Dr. Ahmad Al-Tibi began the session, “Palestinian Citizens of Israel: Dialectic of Identity and Citizenship” by discussing how standing in solidarity with the Syrian people and people all over the world is a must because every person has the right to be free.

“Reclaiming Our Narrative: Unveiling Zionism and understanding Palestinian History” highlighted the various ways in which the Palestinian narrative has been described in the past century.

During the session, “Palestinian Rights, International Law, and Zionist Claims,” discussed the ways in which international law can be used to counter claims against the Palestinians right to their land.

Activists and journalists Rania Khalek and Max Geller led a workshop on the ways that activists have faced false accusations of anti-semitism because of their Palestine solidarity activism.

On Thursday, the Northwestern University and Evanston community gathered to listen to Ali Abunimah —acclaimed Palestinian-American author and founder of the Electronic Intifada —present on “Palestinian Uprising: The Question of Resistance.”
