A genocide is taking place in Palestine. It’s the culmination of more than 75 years of ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population. The level of occupation’s violence and destruction in Gaza has drastically increased. It has also generated an unprecedented wave of global solidarity with Palestine. It’s certainly the most consequential anti-war movement since 2003 when people around the world opposed the US war in Iraq. Everywhere, people are demanding an immediate ceasefire and justice for Palestine.

This panel proposes an abolitionist lens to examine the history of settler colonialism, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as the creative struggles of Palestinians. It explores the connections between US and European imperialisms and the colonial z10nist project. The panelists will also analyze the role of Isr*eli prison and security industrial complexes in maintaining and reinforcing the colonial geography of Palestine. Finally, the panelists will discuss the abolitionist present and possibility for a decolonial future in Palestine.
