Community Reading of Issue 19: The Disorientation Edition of the New York Wars Crime

  • EastSide Arts Alliance 2277 International Boulevard Oakland, CA, 94606 United States (map)

Join us on Monday, September 29th, from 6 to 8 pm, for a reading of The Disorientation Edition of the New York War Crimes.

Published in collaboration with the editors of The Written Resistance, a quarterly newsletter by National Students for Justice in Palestine this issue focuses on Israel’s war on education, a fight as old as the Zionist entity itself.

We’ll read Qasam al-Haj’s writing about how Palestinians in Zionist prisons seize their right to education by rebelling against the colonial system that seeks to subjugate them along with a dispatch from a student from Bureij refugee camp writes to her teacher from Baghdad who witnesses yet another imperial aggression in Gaza along with Kwame Ture’s address at the Convention of the Organization of Arab Students in the U.S. and Canada from 1968:

“The United States is the greatest de-humanizer in the world. It dehumanizes everywhere it goes, and Israel is nothing but a finger of the United States of America. It dehumanizes all over the world. Our fight today is a fight for humanity. It is not just a fight to change systems, it is a fight for our very humanity, our freedom to live, to have the type of culture and language we desire, and to live and function and enjoy the wealth of the earth. That is our fight. We are fighting for our humanity. We must be on the forces of those who fight for humanity.”

Admission is free. We will have posters and other printed materials for sale.
