Born in the Bronx or Berlin, Jews of a certain age remember the justificatory slogan for the establishment of Israel, “A land without a people for a people without a land.” Persuasive as this may have been at the time, it spoke and continues to speak today to a settler colonial policy of violent erasure. Erasure that the November 2022 Israeli election and subsequent ministerial choices promise to intensify. Looking forward, what possible futures beyond the settler state might there be? Please join sociocultural anthropologist and Feminist Studies scholar Sarah Ihmoud (College of the Holy Cross) and cultural historian Alon Confino (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) as they discuss their work on Palestine/Israel, considering possible paths toward anticolonial futures, particularly in light of anticolonial pasts in the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Chair and moderator: Raz Segal, Associate Professor and Director of the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Stockton University.
