Palestine Scholars Echo Protest and Popular Resistance Excerpt: For weeks, crowds of Chicagoans have been filling the Loop to express their fierce desire for Palestinian liberation. Armed with keffiyehs and tablas, protesters in Chicago and across the world have been crying “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”—a decades-old slogan referencing the original land of historic Palestine between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. On May 19, five Palestinian scholars echoed these sentiments of resistance at a University of Chicago panel on the ongoing attempts to expel Indigenous Palestinians from their homes and the mobilizations across Palestine to resist them. The panel was co-sponsored by the University’s Global Studies Center, Pozen Family Center for Human Rights, the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, and the Arab Studies Institute.  Source: https://southsideweekly.com/u-s-palestinian-scholars-echo-protest-and-po...
