Canada’s Complicity in Palestinian Dispossession

Message from Peace Alliance Winnipeg:

“Last Saturday, Hanna Kawas, of the Canada Palestine Association, gave an informative presentation on the struggles of Palestinians for liberation and the obstacles placed in their way by Canada. Unfortunately, the presentation was “zoom-bombed” with pornographic images by people who wished to disrupt the webinar.

We had to cancel the session and restart it to get rid of the people who were trying to prevent Hanna from speaking. In the process we lost many people who were legitimately trying to attend the event. The good news is you can watch Hanna’s presentation here: https://youtu.be/C2koY5m0xAQ.

Please feel free to share this video widely and help defeat the enemies of free speech and Palestinian liberation.”

Aug. 14 Webinar: Canada’s Complicity in Palestinian Dispossession

Hanna Kawas discusses Canada’s complicity in Palestinian dispossession and how it enables settler colonialism at home and abroad.
