Palestinian Walks: Notes on a Vanishing Landscape - Humanizing Palestine Lecture Series

Announced by the University of Pittsburgh

Series Description:
American taxpayers fund the Israeli army with $4 billion per year, however, they know little about the Palestinians who live under occupation in the West Bank and Gaza or as citizens of Israel. Moreover, when Palestinians are discussed in American media or the halls of power, they are portrayed exclusively through a terrorism lens that reinforces false Islamophobic and anti-Arab stereotypes. The Humanizing Palestine Lecture Series hosted by the Rutgers Center for Security, Race and Rights features scholars who center the lived experiences, voices, culture and political analysis of Palestinians and their allies.
