Except Palestine: Town-Hall Discussion ( 4-6pm)
The panel focuses on the impact of what experts are calling a “textbook case of genocide” on Palestinian children and childhood. Panellists will explore how young Palestinians are both targeted and used by political Zionism to build, maintain, and justify the Israeli ethno-nation. Panelists will bring their expertise on childhood to discuss the implications for solidarity – both how the supposedly ultra deserving figure of the child as victim falls apart when it comes to Palestine and the problematics of tying solidarity movements to accounts of the exceptionalism of childhood.
This event is the fourth in a series of town-hall discussions, co-organised by UCL Middle East Research Centre, SOAS Centre for Palestine Studies, LSE Human Rights and King’s College London.
Letters For Palestinian Childhoods Exhibition (6-7pm)
