Well if we thought things couldn’t get any worse, tensions further intensify in Palestine with Israel’s latest progrom against the Palestinians. From endorsing a settler rampage in the areas of Huwara and Nablus, to this week denying the existence of Palestinians. The escalations are not unsurprising, while the question of Palestinian sovereignty remains unanswered. This week on Accent of women, we revisit a lecture delivered by Noura Erakat, Palestinian-American human rights attorney and Assistant Professor at George Mason University. Erakat delivered the annual Edward Said Memorial Lecture in July 2018, and her visit to Australia was hosted by APAN. The speech is called Palestine in the Age of Trump. Though this speech was delivered 5 years ago, you’ll notice that not much has changed.
