Panel discussion with Rachad Antonius, Fabienne Presentey (journalist, sociologist, and member of Independent Jewish Voices Canada), and Gilles Bibeau (Professor Emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at Université de Montréal)
The horror unfolding in Gaza has exposed the reality of the alliances that shape Western policies—alliances that ignore supposedly sacrosanct principles of international law and human rights. This three-person panel will explore several of the conflict’s key issues. Rachad Antonius will discuss the appropriation of Palestinian land under the Zionist movement. Fabienne Presentey, one of the founders of Independent Jewish Voices Canada, will offer a critical reflection on Zionism and Israeli policies. Lastly, anthropologist Gilles Bibeau, author of Généalogie de la violence : le terrorisme : piège pour la pensée, will address the role of violence.
