SUMMARY:Beyond Occupation and Extraction: Palestinian and Venezuelan Voices in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In a moment when Donald Trump’s extractivist war machine seems unconstrained by anything other than the price of oil\, and the international order\, long on the rocks\, is finally breaking up\, we must not forget to attend to the myriad forms of life\, resistance\, and even joy that work against and despite neoimperialism in specific places. What can the lived experience of unspeakable violence teach us not about militarism and extractivism but about what can\, should\, and must endure beyond them? In this 90 minute live online dialogue\, scholars from Caracas\, Venezuela and the Gaza Strip share their experiences\, ideas\, fears\, and hopes across the long-discredited but still pernicious orientalist dichotomy of East and West. \nJoin Climate Commons on March 25\, at 4PM on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Iran and Palestine: Rethinking Liberation Beyond the Binaries of Imperialism and Theocracy
DESCRIPTION:The recent illegal war on Iran by the US and Israel has pushed the political support for Iran and Palestine into a problematically oppositional binary. This binary\, which is aggressively promoted by Zionists and greatly benefits their project of domination and destruction in the region\, has presented imperialist and Zionist forces as the only hope of the people of Iran for liberation from a brutal dictatorship. Meanwhile\, those who support the liberation of Palestinians are pressured to enact their anti-imperialist and anti-Zionism stance by siding with the Iranian regime against its people. In this session\, we will work against this binary\, make a case for Iranian-Palestinian solidarity\, and envision forms of liberation that does not require the oppression of one group for another. \n\n\nWednesday\, March 25\, 6-7:30pm \n\n\nDunton Tower 2017\, Carleton University
