SUMMARY:"The Price of Oslo"\, directed by Rawan Damen
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the screening of the film “The Price of Oslo”\, directed by Rawan Damen. The film is about 100 minutes.  \nThe film screening will be followed by a discussion with the film director Rawan Damen. Screening will begin at 12 Noon US EDT; 7:00 PM Palestine time \nAbout the Film \nFor most people\, the Oslo Accords will forever be symbolised by the grand public signing ceremony that took place on the lawn of the White House on September 13\, 1993. Far fewer people\, however\, are aware of the fact that the Accords were actually signed several weeks earlier\, on August 20\, in a guest house in Oslo\, or of the seven-hour long telephone conversation\, on August 18\, that was instrumental in bringing the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel to the point where they could be signed. \nRawan Damen: “After six months of research and numerous interviews\, I was certain that light needed to be shed on the aspects of this story that had been intentionally left unlit.”

SUMMARY:P&P Live! Yasmeen Abutaleb & Damian Paletta — NIGHTMARE SCENARIO - with Ashley Parker
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE to register for this virtual event! \nSince the day Donald Trump was elected\, his critics warned that an unexpected crisis would test the former reality-television host—and they predicted that the president would prove unable to meet the moment. In 2020\, that crisis came to pass\, with the outcomes more devastating and consequential than anyone dared to imagine. Nightmare Scenario is the complete story of Donald Trump’s handling—and mishandling—of the COVID-19 catastrophe\, during the period of January 2020 up to Election Day that year. Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta take us deep inside the White House\, from the Situation Room to the Oval Office\, to show how the members of the administration launched an all-out war against the health agencies\, doctors\, and scientific communities\, all in their futile attempts to wish away the worst global pandemic in a century. \nYasmeen Abutaleb* covers health policy for the Washington Post. She chronicled the Trump administration’s coronavirus response and White House task force in 2020. She previously reported for Reuters. \nDamian Paletta is the economics editor at the Washington Post and previously covered the White House for the Post and the Wall Street Journal. \nThe authors will be in conversation with Ashley Parker\, a Pulitzer Prize winning White House reporter for The Washington Post. \n*I couldn’t confirm that she was Arab but I went ahead and added this event to the calendar just in case!

Marginalized by his own society\, he is surprised to discover the racism he finds in a new one. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nIraqi novelist\, filmmaker\, journalist\, and visual artist Mortada Gzar was born in Kuwait in 1982\, grew up in Basra\, Iraq\, and now lives in Seattle\, Washington. He earned a degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Baghdad and was later a member of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.

SUMMARY:Palestinian Narrative: Censorship and Creativity in Time of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few weeks\, Palestinian activists have taken to the streets and social media to protest Israeli attacks on Palestinians both online and offline. During this time\, a campaign of censorship from the Israeli government on social media platforms has been implemented\, with hundreds of posts and accounts being taken down without clear explanations or violations. As a result\, Palestinians have found new and innovative ways to share information and content across social media\, in order to avoid possible censorship. \nThe webinar will focus on successful aspects of digital activism in recent weeks\, and analyze how governments and social media companies have worked to censor this creative resistance; in particular\, the impact of Israel and technology companies on Palestinian freedom of expression and the role of digital activists and influencers during this period. \n\nTime
