“Palestine in Session” coming back Thursday to discuss “The Legacy of Oslo: Thirty Years Later” Dear Email, It has been 30 years since the Rabin-Arafat handshake at the White House lawn, with President Bill Clinton between them, alongside approximately 3,000 other witnesses, signaling the beginning of the so-called “peace process.” On this 30th anniversary of the Oslo Accords, Palestinians throughout historic Palestine and beyond are still denied their fundamental rights guaranteed under international law. The last 30 years are representative of an Israeli annexation process, as opposed to a peace process. Since the Oslo Accords, settlements expanded, Palestinian territory was further divided, the Palestinian population more fragmented, the pillaging of Palestinian natural resources ferociously increased, and Israel’s occupation became more entrenched. Palestinians are still without self-determination and national sovereignty and continue to endure zionist violence. The settler-colonial project and apartheid regime live on, and Palestinians are 30 years removed from a process that the world thought would bring about peace, but instead, they’ve experienced more injustice. This webinar will reflect on these 30 years, and how we move forward toward justice and liberation for the Palestinian people.  Join us on Thursday, September 14th, @ 3:00 PM EST for this important webinar where I will be hosting a live discussion on Facebook and YouTube with our wonderful guests: - Phyllis Bennis: Program Director of the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies
- Mouin Rabbani: Co-Editor of Jadaliyya and Contributing Editor of Middle East Report
- Osamah Khalil: Associate professor of history at Syracuse University, and historian of US foreign relations and the modern Middle East
