I recently attended The Key to Justice webinar, hosted by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign on the 72nd anniversary of the Nakba, the annual commemoration of the events of Israeli Independence in 1948 which led to the forced and voluntary displacement of many Palestinians.
The supposed purpose of the webinar was to explore “the connections between the Palestinian struggle to end the ongoing Nakba and the struggles of millions of refugees, migrants and those struggling for adequate housing worldwide, particularly during the pandemic.” Speakers included SOAS assistant professor Rafeef Ziadah, who has a history of hosting events with controversial speakers, Marta Ill – a representative of the renters’ trade union in Barcelona – and Rey Perez Asis, a migrant workers activist.
