Evidence was presented from the live and written testimony of thirteen witnesses and three experts; expert analyses supported by scientific or technical data; documentary evidence including reports, photographs, and satellite images; and facts widely known and independently corroborated by reliable international human rights organizations and bodies.
This report back is a tool for our movements to expose the crimes of US empire in collaboration with the Zionist entity, and uplift the Palestinian people’s struggle for justice and liberation. It is right to resist genocide, ecocide, and forced starvation!⁩⁩

Partition and Solidarity: Anticolonial Struggles in the Colonial Present Conference

Friday, March 6, 2026
University of Washington, Seattle
9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Husky Union Building (HUB)

Over the past five centuries, empires have used partition and division to justify and advance colonialism. We can see that ongoing history of colonial rule and racial violence exploding around the world today—from Palestine to Minnesota and beyond.

Join us at this one-day symposium where scholars and activists will gather to engage in conversations about anticolonial struggles of the past and the present. How might we forge diasporic imaginaries and solidarity movements to contest the colonial world order toward collective liberation?

The symposium will include a keynote address by Adam Hanieh of SOAS, University of London (UK), who has been selected to deliver a Walker-Ames public lecture. He is the MBI Jaber Chair in Development Studies and the Director of the Middle East Institute at SOAS, University of London. His research focuses on oil and capitalism, energy transitions, and the political economy of the Middle East.

UW Public Lectures: Palestine to Iraq with Adam Hanieh
2026-03-06 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
While World War I is often framed as a European conflict, its most far-reaching consequences were profoundly felt far beyond Europe’s borders. In the Middle East, the war sparked a sweeping political crisis that ultimately led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. In its wake, the European victors imposed new borders and mandates, carving the region into fragmented zones of imperial control and influence.
But this was not merely a story of unchecked colonial dominance. In the postwar moment, a spectrum of fluid, intersecting anti-colonial movements emerged. Palestine became a key site in these struggles, as a racialized order of settler-colonial capitalism took shape under British rule. This talk locates those movements within the broader transition from British to American imperial ascendancy, contending that the political history of the region must be understood as integral to the global history of fossil capitalism.
Moving beyond frameworks centered solely on empire, the talk examines how anti-colonial actors envisioned their futures within a rapidly transforming global system—even as new hierarchies of race, empire, and capital were being redefined.
