The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A keynote lecture by Rashid Khalidi
Watch Rashid Khalidi’s Keynote Lecture at the Columbia Global Centers | AMMAN
Saturday, December 14, 2019
Professor Khalidi laid out a framework for understanding the conflict over Palestine as a century-long war involving a settler colonial movement – which has succeeded in forming a national entity – that was consistently supported by several of the great powers, and on the other side stubborn resistance on the part of the Palestinian people, who have always enjoyed much less external support.
This keynote was part of the conference, A Century of Palestinian Nationalism: Modes of Political Organization and Representation since 1919, organized by Columbia Global Centers | Amman in partnership with Institut français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo), Institute for Palestine Studies, and Al Hekma Association.
