Over the course of three sessions (June 14, 15, & 21), this workshop will explore some of the lesser known episodes of the history of the Palestinian Resistance.

The first session will explore the early struggles that the Ottoman Palestinians and Arabs waged against the Zionist project as early as the first Zionist settlement, recognizing how the years 1878-1920 shaped the contemporary Palestinian struggle.

The second session will explore the history of Fateh's "Student Brigades," its trajectory in the "Jarmaq Battalion" and later the Islamic Jihad Brigades.

And the final session will focus on the internationalist dimension of the Palestinian struggle. While emphasizing the imperialist nature of the Zionist movement (relying mainly on Kanfani's study of the 1936 uprising) the session will revisit the history of the "external operations" and the careers of internationalist individuals and groups that dedicated their lives to the Palestinian aspect of the anti-imperialist struggle.
