17	18 11:30 am: May 18 - Palestine in the World 11:30 am – 2:00 pm May 18, 2026 Palestine in the World Join us for an afternoon of reflection and learning about the global impacts of the Nakba, partitions, and displacements. In 1948, over 500 Palestinian villages were destroyed and depopulated, and up to 1 million Palestinians were forcibly expelled through ethnic cleansing by the Zionist entity. We come together to commemorate Nakba Day and all internationalist struggles bound up in Palestinian liberation - as Palestinian revolutionary Ghassan Kanafani wrote: "Imperialism has laid its body over the world, the head in Eastern Asia, the heart in the Middle East, its arteries reaching Africa and Latin America." The Palestinian liberation movement echoes in a worldwide continuum with many interconnected legacies and trajectories. Come hear about freedom struggles from Palestine to Sudan, anti-displacement fights from the Downtown Eastside to global land defense movements, and the afterlives of colonial mandates and partition plans from Palestine to South Asia to Turtle Island.
