What exactly happened in 1948? An animated map by Palestinian architect Nisreen Zahda
2025-08-30 09:00 - 10:30 | Virtual
This Saturday, August 30, 2025 Virtual Programming via Zoom:
What exactly happened in 1948? An animated map by Palestinian architect Nisreen Zahda.
Please Click Here to register to attend this event via Zoom.
Screening will start at 12:00 PM US EDT; 19:00 Palestine, 18:00 Europe, UK 17:00; Running Time 12 minutes, 2023, English language. The screening will be followed by Q&A discussions with the audience.
About the Topic
The 1948 Nakba—Israel calls it the War of Independence and claims it fended off and conquered the invasion of several Arab armies from surrounding countries. Nothing could be further from the truth.
As the genocide in Gaza continues to unfold, it’s crucial to put the events of 1948 into perspective and examine the similarities and differences. There’s a stark contrast between the misinformation and lack of media coverage in 1948 versus the live-streamed coverage of the current genocide on people’s mobile devices and screens worldwide. Was what happened in 1948 as tragic and horrific as what’s happening in Gaza now, just unknown to the world?

Global Strike for Gaza
2025-08-28
GLOBAL STRIKE FOR GAZA – AUG 28🚨
Last Thursday, the Global Economic Strike for Gaza began. Hundreds of thousands heard the call — promoting it on their pages, translating posters, organising demonstrations, and even committing to close their businesses every Thursday.
This is just the beginning. On Thursday 28th August, we take up Bisan’s call – and we strike again — and this time, we must spread the word even further.
Israel is carrying out genoc//de in Gaza, while western politicians not only look away but actively arm an aparthe//d regime wiping out a civilian population. It is time to escalate on a global scale. When governments refuse to listen, we—as a united global collective—must strike where it hurts them most: their economies.
On Thursday 28th August, and continuing every Thursday after, we strike together.
Please read the deck, share it widely, and spread the word.

Arab Street Food: Shawarma with Nadia Tommalieh
2025-08-19 18:00 - 21:00 | the Pantry, 1417 NW 70th Street, Seattle, WA, 98117
Across the Arab world, you’ll find variations on their most famous street food: shawarma.

You’ll fill your warm bread with spiced and thinly sliced beef shawarma, tahini-based taratorsauce; batata harra (crispy cubed potatoes in a citrus cilantro sauce); avocado bil labaneh w za’atar (mashed avocado, jalapeno, yogurt, and Za’atar); and mkhalal left (pickled turnips).

Movie: Sudan, Remember Us
2025-08-18 19:30 - 21:00, 2025-08-17 17:00 - 19:00 | The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
In April 2019, filmmaker Hind Meddeb travelled to Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, at a jubilant moment in the country’s history. The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. Meddeb began filming with young activists rallying for a citizen’s government by staging sit-ins, making music, reciting poetry, and painting murals. Their hopes are expressed in signs that read “Sudan free from tribalism” and “religious pluralism.”
For Meddeb, who has family roots in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria, the movement brings to mind the aspirations of her late father: “the dream of an Arab country with its customs shaken up by a feminist revolution.” She captures demonstrations going late into the night with a celebratory atmosphere. The activists are defiant against backlash. “Bullets don’t kill,” says one young man. “What kills is people’s silence.”
SUDAN, REMEMBER US enshrines this moment, but also documents the descent into war that followed. Today, Sudan is engulfed in violence between internal factions in collusion with external arms suppliers driven to gain control over the country’s wealth of minerals. The war has displaced more than 8 million people and killed over 14,000, but is largely ignored by international news. No single film can explain a nation’s complex history or politics. Instead, Meddeb simply bears witness to courageous people receiving scant coverage. Meddeb is always attuned to the power of language—dictators may come and go, but as one activist asserts, “poems are eternal.”
