Video: Comparative Criminalization – Repression and Resistance Across Borders

On Friday, November 19, the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel hosted a webinar on “Comparative Criminalization: Repression and Resistance Across Borders.” Moderated by Omar Zahzah of USACBI, Eyewitness Palestine and the Palestinian Youth Movement, the webinar heard from a range of scholars, advocates and activists confronting different forms of repression.

From the Israeli designation of Palestinian civil society organizations as “terrorist,” to San Francisco State University’s repression of Palestine in the classroom, to the repression student activists and faculty face on campus, the Palestinian liberation movement and Palestinian narratives face criminalization across borders. The discussion also looked at how we can fight back and seek collective liberation.
The video is also available on Facebook as well as YouTube.
