Israel, Palestine, Hamas charters, Chomsky, Edward Said, colonialism, free speech (w Aviva Chomsky)

In this video, we ask Prof. Aviva Chomsky about her organizing efforts with the Palestinian solidarity movement. She narrates her experience with the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, and her personal trip to the Middle East with her father Noam Chomsky. They were denied entry into the West Bank by Israeli border control force. She narrates her experience of visiting the refugee camps in Lebanon. We ask her the importance of placing colonialism at the center of understanding Israeli atrocities on Palestinians. She also brings to our attention the importance of using the right categories and words to understand the conflict. We ask her about the Hamas and the Likud charter. Finally, we end with a discussion on activism of organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace in the US.
