The Hope for a Just Peace for Palestine
This video was recorded at the event, The Arc of History Bends Towards Justice in Palestine, in September 2016 at Beit Zatoun.
Jonathan Kuttab is a human rights attorney and peace activist who works and practices law in Israel and Occupied Palestine tells us that peace and justice are not only possible but inevitable.
Kuttab provides perspective on the current Zionist backlash against BDS and the Palestinian Solidarity in general. He considers what is happening to Palestinians in the occupied territories, Israel and diaspora, and to the global Palestinian solidarity movement, as he shares his perspective on the current context in many countries as well as here in Canada.
Despite the utterly incredible imbalance Dr. Kuttab provides hope that peaceful and effective forces are amassing against the violence of occupation, colonization and apartheid enabled by empire and power. It is time for activists seeking a just peace in the region to keep their eyes open to the signs and lessons leading to the arc of justice.
