At the core of the violence which gripped Israel-Palestine last month, was the issue of refugees. Over 70 Palestinians face eviction from the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah, most of whom settled here as refugees during the 1948 nakba (catastrophe), or are descended from these people. Meanwhile, some Jewish groups claim this property as their own because a smaller wave of Israeli refugees escaped the war by fleeing in the opposite direction.
Join Yahav Zohar and Mohammad Barakat, two Jerusalemites and working partners in the Green Olive Collective, for a special webinar to discuss the complex issue of refugees in Israel-Palestine. Green Olive is a social enterprise providing tours and online experiences that are informative and analytical, covering the history, culture, and political geography of Israel-Palestine.
Moderating the event will be Lola Ibrahim, the Executive Director of the Migrant, Immigrant and Refugee Rights Alliance. MIRR Alliance is a coalition of organizations around the world working to protect and advance the rights and dignity of migrants, immigrants, and refugees.
