About this Event

Comhlámh Justice for Palestine are delighted to invite you to this event.

In this talk, Prof. Qumsiyeh will explain why and how the colonisation of Palestine and its transformation from a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious state to make it a "Jewish state" led to the destruction of human and natural communities. Qumsiyeh offers an analysis of symptoms, diagnosis, and prognosis for Palestine and our challenged planet. He articulates how working for environmental justice and human rights is key to peace and sustainability, not just in the Middle-East, but globally.
