Join popular educators from the Palestinian Youth Movement in a rigorous study of the history and present of US intervention in the Middle East to understand US imperialism\, Israel’s role within it\, and its consequences for working people in the US and around the world.   \n  \nFor nearly half a century\, the United States has been involved in endless wars in the Middle East that have claimed the lives of millions of people. These wars have ballooned the US’ military budget and lined the pockets of wealthy warmongerers as conditions for working people deteriorate. Over the same period\, the US government has financially\, politically\, and militarily backed Israel’s occupation and colonization of Palestine\, including through its full support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In turn\, people across the political spectrum have begun to question the US government’s continued commitment for a foreign policy predicated on endless war\, devastating interventions\, and unconditional support for Israel\, regardless of the administration in power. \nThis 4-part course from the Palestinian Youth Movement will study the history and present of US intervention in the Middle East to equip participants with a deeper understanding of US imperialism\, Israel’s role within it\, and its consequences for working people in the US and around the world. It seeks to illuminate how it is the imperialist system\, and not just the ideological positions or policies of any one politician in office\, that keeps America at war and invested in the destabilization of the Middle East. Without understanding the imperialist system that underlies the ongoing drive for war\, we cannot understand how to confront it. \nThis course is organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)\, a grassroots\, international movement that organizes Palestinian and Arab youth to struggle for Palestinian liberation \nWHEN \nAmerica’s Forever Wars in the Middle East is a 4-part hybrid course from Dec. 2 – 11\, meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET. Here is the schedule: \n\nSession 4: Imperialism and the Anti-War Struggle in the US | December 11\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM ET URL:https://arabishway.com/event/americas-forever-wars-in-the-middle-east-on-us-imperialism-session-4/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-28-at-9.18.18-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251212 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251222 DTSTAMP:20260403T131905 CREATED:20250729T170013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250729T170046Z UID:10003243-1765497600-1766361599@arabishway.com SUMMARY:AANM: Arab Film Series Online DESCRIPTION:Films available for ten days each month listed\nArab Film Series Online\nFree Online Stream | Suggested $5 Donation – Register\nThe Arab American National Museum (AANM)\, Arab Film and Media Institute (AFMI)\, and ArteEast proudly present the Arab Film Series\, a monthly curated online program of contemporary and classic films\, followed by discussions with Arab\, Arab American\, and diasporic filmmakers\, connecting a worldwide community through film\, dialogue\, and activism.

This reading marks the end of the program\, and you are invited to come celebrate their genius with us!\n\n\nRegistration is not required\, but helps us anticipate audience size. If you’d like to RSVP\, please do so here! \nAbout SAL’s Youth Poetry Fellowship (YPF): \nThe Youth Poetry Fellowship serves a cohort of young writers committed to poetry\, performance\, civic and community engagement\, education\, and equity across the Puget Sound region. Over the course of the school year\, fellows meet regularly for workshops with the Youth Poetry Fellowship mentors. Fellows also have numerous public opportunities to share their voices\, leadership\, and love of Seattle throughout the course of the year. One of the fellows serves as the Youth Poet Laureate and writes a poetry collection published by Poetry NW Editions. \nAhsenti Alfedil (she/her) is a first-generation American of Ethio-Sudanese descent and a student at the Bush School. A multidisciplinary Piscean\, she moves fluidly between poetry\, acrylic/oil painting\, and movement—always led by curiosity and feeling. When not overwhelmed by her academic workload\, she finds joy in braiding hair\, spending hours adorning herself and loved ones in henna\, skating to her favorite playlists\, and research as a leisure activity. As a writer\, Ahsenti turns most often to poetry. Her work shows resistance to categorization because she follows her intrigue; the fleeting moments that spark inspiration to create. Through her writing\, she hopes to make space for those navigating layered identities\, vulnerability\, and for stories that make people feel seen in their most intricate and unspoken parts. \nNadia Najam is a senior at Liberty High School in Renton\, Washington. She finds joy in reading any good book she can get her hands on and spending time in nature. Through YPF\, Nadia hopes to grow more confident in sharing her writing with the world and to challenge herself to explore new themes and styles in her poetry. \nand more. \n  URL:https://arabishway.com/event/seattle-arts-lectures-youth-poetry-reading/ LOCATION:Elliott Bay Book Company\, 1521 10th Avenue\, Seattle\, 98122\, United States CATEGORIES:Poetry ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-29-at-8.46.46-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251213T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251213T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T131905 CREATED:20251129T174140Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251129T174228Z UID:10003454-1765616400-1765623600@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Virtual Movie Screenings: Every Saturday with Palestine Museum US DESCRIPTION:Check website: https://www.palestinemuseum.us/events for current showings and for registration links! \nOften the screening ends with a Q&A with the director! \n  URL:https://arabishway.com/event/virtual-movie-screenings-every-saturday-with-palestine-museum-us-dec-2025-b/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Movie ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/palestine-museum.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251213T103000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251213T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T131905 CREATED:20251130T041547Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251130T041644Z UID:10003464-1765621800-1765625400@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Arabic Story Time at Lake City Public Library DESCRIPTION:At storytime\, children from birth through elementary school and their families can enjoy stories\, songs\, and fun learning activities. \nEvent in English and Arabic.

The basis of their arts is the Turath\, the canon of classical Middle Eastern compositions and improvisational techniques. \nKarim Nagi is an Egyptian native and Rami Gabriel is of Lebanese-Egyptian descent – together\, as The Arab Blues\, they bridge the gap between tradition and innovation\, using their Middle Eastern heritage and passions for Chicago’s jazz and blues scene. Gabriel plays guitar\, oud and buzuq\, while Nagi plays riqq and tublah\, at least.  The result is an original expression of immigrant artistry with passionate musicality and revolutionary attitude.\n\n“The hermetic mixture of these musical elements make for a miraculous sonic blaze. It’s like receiving a smoldering telegram in the ear from a vivid and ancient world.” (Evanston Round Table \n  \nDecember 14 SEATTLE at Rainier Arts Center\nhttps://tickets.worldclassmusic.live/events/wcml/1678853 URL:https://arabishway.com/event/the-arab-blues/ LOCATION:Rainier Arts Center\, 3515 S Alaska St\, Seattle\, WA\, 98118 CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-29-at-8.19.17-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251215T150000 DTSTAMP:20260403T131906 CREATED:20251128T202003Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251128T202042Z UID:10003410-1765792800-1765810800@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Book Fair DESCRIPTION:Albayan Science Academy & Cordoba AcademyIn collaboration with Allamaho Albayan Book StoreWe’re so excited to host a fun and family-friendly Islamic Book Fair that brings everyone together for learning\, culture\, and lots of smiles!
