Europe’s Role after October 7th attacks

Event Description

‍

Join us for a debate and film screening with a socialist MEP, leading journalists, the founder of European Jews for Palestine, and a grassroots organisation, as they confront Netanyahu’s use of hostages to justify and legitimize a campaign of war crimes in Gaza and ask: what is Europe’s role, responsibility, and room for manoeuvre?

Participants will explore the manipulation of fear, the silencing of dissent inside Israel, and the role Europe has played in enabling or challenging this course of action.
