On 25th June, ICAHD UK presented a webinar that featured Jeff Halper, ICAHD’s director, moderating presentations from our guest speakers Mouin Rabbani, a leading Palestinian political analysist, researcher and writer, and Abdel Takriti, a Palestinian historian and Professor of Modern Arab History.
At this critical time in the Middle East, layer upon layer of US/Israel-incited wars threaten the entire region with subservience to Washington, Tel Aviv and their allies, the repressive Arab regimes. They also threaten the Palestinians’ ability to continue struggling for their own national rights – indeed, for their very survival.
Watch this webinar for insights not only about the history of the Middle East but to also understand the current reality with the Gulf countries competing for US favour. Western governments maintain that Israel has a right to resist attacks on it and that it should maintain dominance in the Middle East therefore Israel must be provided with more weapons.
However, we are now in a time of transition. There is low-level mobilization in the Arab world with its leaders not even trying to do anything significant to support the Palestinian struggle.
