In a groundbreaking online event organized by the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC), titled 'The Student Intifada: Panel Discussion with Global Palestine University Encampments,' students from diverse corners of the world united to amplify their voices in solidarity with Palestine.

The event served as a platform for impassioned discussions, shedding light on the ongoing struggle against Israeli occupation, dispossession, apartheid policies, and the recent atrocities in Gaza, including the harrowing massacre in Rafah.

The list of speakers includes Nora Borras, Bianca Carrera, Ismail Yaqoob, Jessie Rubin, Mohammed Mustafa, Chris Kunzler, Leia Baig, and Nader Ihmoud.

Held amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions and heightened global awareness, the panel discussion brought together students from various academic institutions, some of whom streamed live from their student encampments. The dialogue underscored the profound impact of student mobilization in advocating for Palestinian rights and justice on an international scale.

Throughout the discussion, participants highlighted the relentless efforts of Palestinian students and their allies in raising awareness about the multifaceted challenges faced by Palestinians. From the systematic oppression under Israeli occupation to the atrocities committed against innocent civilians in Gaza, the panelists articulated a collective call for justice and an end to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

They agreed that the recent massacre in Rafah, where innocent lives were ruthlessly taken, serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for international intervention to hold perpetrators of violence and oppression accountable. Panelists emphasized the importance of global solidarity movements in amplifying the voices of the oppressed and marginalized, particularly amidst attempts to silence dissent and suppress freedom of expression.

In addition to discussing the grave realities on the ground, the panel also celebrated the resilience and determination of Palestinian students and activists who continue to resist injustice against all odds. From organizing solidarity campaigns to participating in mass protests, students worldwide have emerged as powerful agents of change, challenging the status quo and demanding accountability from those in power.

The event concluded with a renewed commitment to solidarity and activism, with participants pledging to continue their efforts in advocating for Palestinian rights and amplifying the voices of the oppressed. As the global community stands witness to the plight of the Palestinian people, the panel discussion served as a reminder of the power of unity and collective action in the pursuit of justice and liberation.

In the face of adversity, the voices of students echo worldwide, resolute in their determination to uphold the principles of justice, equality, and freedom for all.
