About this event

This event brings together a group of leading experts who will analyse the genocide in Gaza in broader historical, geopolitical, and economic contexts. 

As such, it draws links between the Israeli commission of a genocide against the Palestinian people and the unfolding of colonial and imperial structures in the Middle East.
