'Gaza as the Epicentre of our World'

What is the significance of the Gaza genocide for the struggles against injustice globally and locally?
Why does the reality unfolding during the last two years in Palestine represent a pivotal moment in the struggle to build
an intersectional global civil society and challenge the essence of politics as we know it today? What are the
risks if we allow Palestine to be destroyed and expunged from history, memory and the future?
