Palestine - Israel: History did not start on October 7

Amira Hass, Jerusalem born and daughter of two Jewish holocaust survivors,  joined Haaretz daily in 1989 and has been the paper’s correspondent in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 1993.    She lived in Gaza between 1993-1997 and since then in El-Bireh, the West Bank.   Her book “Drinking the Sea at Gaza” was published by Henry Holt in 2000.  Two other books, in various languages, are compilations of her articles in Haaretz and the Italian weekly Internazionale.  She also wrote the introduction and afterword for her mother’s diary in Bergen Belsen Nazi concentration camp (1944-1945), published by Haymarket Books in 2008.

This lecture will contextualize Hamas’ attack on Israeli military and civilian localities and the war that has been going on since then against the militant organization and the Palestinian people.
