Dear Sumud Friends, welcome to our sixth Sumud session on the Second Intifada and the Wars on Gaza in the 2000s. This is a period of great violence, not only between Palestinians and Israelis during the second uprising (intifada) that followed the failure of the “peace process,” but also intra-Palestinian violence between Fatah and Hamas, the latter of which took over the Gaza Strip in 2007. Multiple Israeli wars on Palestinian life in Gaza followed, leading up to the plausible genocide of 2023, which we will discuss in our final session.
Please post below any reflections or questions you have before the session as you’re reading Chapter 6 of Khalidi or reviewing the materials in the toolkit, which includes several documentaries/movies and reflections on our Quaker Testimony for the week (Stewardship). See you on Thursday!
