The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine
On May 15, 2024, the Book-Club/Interfaith Study Group will continue with its study of Dr. Rashid Khalidi’s classic work “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism Resistance, 1917- 2017.” Dr. Qaisar Sultana (Professor Emerita Eastern Kentucky University) and her husband Ron Smith will lead the discussion on Chapter 3: “The Third Declaration of War” (1967);
In our last meeting on April 17, 2024, Rev. Kathleen Owens presented both her detailed Notes on Chapter 2, and her analysis of significant points in “The Second Declaration of War” (1947-1948). Dr. Joe Brennan presented his account on “The Founders of Zionism” which summarized the life and work of Theodor Herzl and Chaim Weizmann. A brief but thought-provoking presentation was made by Azam Saeed on “Place of Leadership in a Freedom Struggle” in which he made introductory remarks on two very popular Palestinian freedom-fighters Marwan Barghouti and Basel al-Araj. The final speaker was Stretch (Deanna Rushing) who belongs to the local Ceasefire Coalition and shared segments of her journey as a justice activist.
