Over the last seven months, a brutal genocide has unfolded in Gaza. Simultaneously, resistance against the Zionist project has grown, and protest movements have swept the region and spread across the world on an unprecedented scale. Does this signify a deepening of the cracks in the Zionist project? What is the stance of the movement for Palestinian liberation and what has been done to fight for it internationally? This opening panel will address these issues and discuss the current state and future directions of the Palestinian liberation struggle.
