We at Pune Collective, invite you to our 12th program on Saturday, 5th, June 2021.
The COVID-19 outbreak has shaken our world. We are still fighting for the basic health infrastructure, beds, medical oxygen, and medicines. And in midst of this, we have seen series of horrifying incidents in West Asia.
Israel’s 11-day bombardment of Gaza killed nearly 250 Palestinians, including at least 65 children, leaving behind many buildings, homes, and infrastructure destroyed in the besieged enclave. On the Israeli side, 12 people were killed, in rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
The situation in Gaza keeps getting worsening more and more because the very basis of the conflict has not been addressed. We believe that a current ceasefire does not resolve the question. Palestinians continue to face violence from Israeli occupation forces and it’s not going to end until the occupation comes to an end. This fight concerns all those who are attached to the values of justice, dignity, and law.
We stand with the Palestinians who are engaged in a rightful struggle for liberation and join all those who are demanding an end to Israeli oppression. It is against this background that we invite you to this program.
In this session of the Pune Collective, we will be joined by three towering personalities of international repute: Nilu Damle, A Senior Journalist, Author, Political Analyst, and Commentator; along with Arwa Abu Hashhash, An Activist, Policy Researcher, Assistant editor of the International and member of the Palestinian People’s Party and Vijay Prashad, A historian, Author, Chief Editor of LeftWord Books, Director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Do join us to stand together in solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters in this struggle.
This session will be in Marathi and English.
You can Join us using any of the following links at 6 pm, on Saturday, 5th, June 2021.
