2:00 PM EST | 9:00 PM Palestine
Join our first edition of “What Have We Learned?” after one year of Israel’s Genocide with Noura Erakat, hosted by Bassam Hadddad. Scholars, journalists, activists, and authors select 5 themes/topics and analyze what we have learned about them.
Gaza in Context Project is billing this series as lessons learned, one year on, to break through the fog of observations, narratives, data, propaganda, and images we unfathomably continue to access/witness every day. These conversations are relatively short, intense, and insightful, delivered by thoroughly engaged speakers. Catch our next Episode this week with Ussama Makdisi.
Gaza in Context Collaborative Teach-In Series
We are together experiencing a catastrophic unfolding of history as Gaza awaits a massive invasion of potentially genocidal proportions. This follows an incessant bombardment of a population increasingly bereft of the necessities of living in response to the Hamas attack in Israel on October 7. The context within which this takes place includes a well-coordinated campaign of misinformation and the unearthing of a multitude of essentialist and reductionist discursive tropes that depict Palestinians as the culprits, despite a context of structural subjugation and Apartheid, a matter of consensus in the human rights movement.

So eloquently explained in clear detail by Noura Erakat. Never seen anyone explain the genocide so well and with so much passion. 💗💗💗💔💔💔💞💞💞
Noura Erakat is a such a brilliant speaker. Always enjoy her interviews
I VOTE for JILL STEIN 2024 President of America 💚💯. Jill STEIN is Against Genocide Wars. Higher 💲 minimum wage, affordable housing, women's rights, medical healthcare for All.
Noura is, afaik, always eloquent, always to the point, but her points on the power of the palestinian people made me cry as well. The continued ability of these sumud people, able to show and express acts of courage, of love in the face of death and genocidal persecution is beyond awe and should be action inspiring, lest we don't loose our soul
Great Coverage thank you very much😊😊
Mohammed Deif is listening, mocking Benjamin Netanyahu's empty claims...😂😂😂😂

Wish Noura was allowed on BBC again to berate their terrible biased news coverage.
U just someone shit talking on comments just made a 1 hr vid
A great moral champion & inspiration.
Thank you Noura 🍉
Noura Erakat says a lot of good things and she conveys very well the significance and potential (positive and negative) of the current moment.
On the other hand, the "production values" (black and white with thin sound, colour with rich sound) are annoying, distracting. They aestheticise in a trite way what should be analysis and thought. They make it about "the show" and not only, as it should be, about Palestine and about how we need to respond to the genocide.
