Global Civilian Intervention to Colonial Occupation – Webinar
International intervention is being requested by Palestinian and Saharawi groups to help protect them from the violent occupiers. The US and most European States support or acquiesce to the Israel and Morocco illegal occupations and their repression of the residents. To fill the vacuum, international groups and tourists are helping. Are you interested in learning and maybe even being part of the historic and ongoing efforts of unarmed solidarity and civilian protection in Palestine and Western Sahara?On Thursday, November 21, we hosted a powerful and inspiring webinar exploring unarmed civilian protection (UCP) efforts in the occupied territories of Palestine and Western Sahara. Experts and activists shared firsthand insights into the critical role of international solidarity in supporting self-determination and defending human rights. 📺 Missed it?
The discussion addressed the challenges of colonial occupation, settler violence, and repression faced by Palestinians and Saharawis, as well as how international groups are stepping up to fill the vacuum left by state inaction. Attendees gained a deeper understanding of the decades-long movements in these regions and explored ways to engage in these historic efforts.
Our distinguished panel included:
- Huwaida Arraf (International Solidarity Movement & Freedom Flotilla)
- Mel Duncan (UCP Palestine – an NVI project)
- Mahmoud Zawahre (Palestinian Human Rights Defender)
- Wynd Kaufmyn (International Solidarity Movement & Western Sahara UCP)
- Khattari Elbaillal (Western Sahara Information Center)
- Daniel Roth (Center for Jewish Nonviolence)
We delved into parallels between the Israeli Apartheid Wall in Palestine and Morocco’s 2,700km-long occupation wall in Western Sahara, emphasizing the importance of applying principles of self-determination and human rights universally.
