We have in Cleveland a number of Palestinians with similar backgrounds to @dianabuttu Would be great to hear from them @TheCityClub @danmoulthrop @ccwa @PhilipMetres See Israel from a perspective often avoided in our community.

Another scholar who brought critical knowledge to Cleveland about protests politics
This IDF desperation to destroy these balloons reminds me of @davidgraeber's amazing piece on giant puppets at global justice protests. It signals desperation to control the narrative #Palestine #FreePalestine #SaveSheikhJarrah
Back in 2015, here is Prof Joel Beinin being interviewed by @tony_ganzer “How is possible that Israel would be containing more than a million people in the Gaza Strip but the price of cottage cheese trumps that in the Israeli election?” 20:45

Here is one of those critical voices who brought perspective and education to Cleveland @TheCityClub

The materials presented here contextualize current events in #Palestine, offering analyses expulsion, occupation, settler colonialism, forced evictions, home demolitions, and annexation—situating the current struggle as part of the ongoing Nakba of 1948.
