On Monday, May 13, 2024, please join us for a unique opportunity to hear from world renowned historian Ilan Pappé as he delves into the complex history of Gaza—past, present and future. His presentation will end at approximately 8 pm with a Q & A with Prof. Pappé following.

In support of the Palestinian struggle for freedom in the face of the atrocities and genocide being committed in Gaza, we have invited one of the world’s foremost historians on the region Professor Ilan Pappe for a visit to Metro-Detroit, Michigan to provide his historical expertise on the issue.

“Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.“ —John Pilger, Australian scholar and documentary filmmaker

Ilan Pappé is the bestselling author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine: A History of Modern Palestineand The Israel/Palestine Question. He has co-published several books with Noam Chomsky, including On Palestine and Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on the US-Israeli War Against the Palestinians; his most recent book is “The Biggest Prison on Earth.”

“…the ethnic cleansing of Palestine must become rooted in our memory and consciousness as a crime against humanity.” ― Ilan Pappé, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

The event will also be livestreamed for those who are unable to attend in person. More details to come.

“Based on groundbreaking archival research, NGO records, and eyewitness accounts, Pappe’s investigation of the ‘bureaucracy of evil’ explores the brutalizing effects of occupation, from the systematic abuse of human and civic rights, the IDF roadblocks, mass arrests, and house searches to the forced population transfer, the settlers, and the infamous wall that is [has turned] the West Bank into an open prison. Providing a sharp contrast with life in Israel, this is a brilliantly incisive and moving portrait of daily life in the Occupied Territories.” —Middle East Books
