*The Maghreb - Machrek Social Forum*

*Extraordinary session: Palestine Our Future*

*The war on the Gaza Strip is a challenge to humanitarian and democratic
values*



*11**-**12 MAY 2024 *

 *Program *

*Opening session*

*The Conferences Palace in Tunis*

*Saturday 11 may 2024 *

*9h30 – 11h00*



*Morning thematic seminars*

*11h15 – 13h30*

*Halls of the Conference Palace in Tunis*



1-     Israel as a contemporary colonial reality: This theme aims to
highlight the similarities between the colonial project in Palestine and
modern colonial experiences and manifestations of postcolonial hegemony on
economic, political and cultural levels, as well as the importance of the
link between the Palestinian national struggle of today with the legacy of
the struggle of the liberation movements and the tasks of the anti-racist
and decolonial movements in the making.





2-   The bias of Western media and the domination of the Israeli narrative
on the public space of the north: This theme constitutes a good
introduction to the analysis of the media war unleashed against the
Palestinians and the way in which it has stifled the voices that are
favorable. It showed the organic relationship between hegemonic financial
forces and right-wing forces in today's media world, and the importance of
thinking about alternative media solutions.






3- Democratic values and international solidarity

Are we therefore witnessing a new kind of militant intersectionality? Are
we witnessing structural changes in the movement itself that would bring
solidarity with Palestine closer to bringing together activists, old and
new, and global public opinion, against a common struggle against
colonialism? In all its forms, against racism, imperialism, hegemony, and
the hegemony of the powerful? What is convergence(s)? What are the shared
platform(s)? What is the future (future) and what are the strategies of
solidarity and resistance?



*Lunch break*

*13h30 – 14h30*

*Evening thematic seminars*

*14h30 – 17h00*

*Halls of the Conference Palace in Tunis*

 4-   The United Nations and the powerlessness of international justice on
Palestine and current geopolitical changes: What is expected from the
discussion around this theme consists of the demonstration of the policy of
double standards and the analysis relations between the immunity enjoyed by
Israel despite the violation of international laws and the submission of
world governance to the interests of old and new colonialism. This will
involve focusing on the significance of South Africa's initiative for the
translation of Israel before the International Court of Justice.

5- The crisis of democratic changes and the struggle for human rights in
the Maghreb Mashreq region: It is important in the wake of this theme to
focus on the causes and signs of the counter-revolution in the Arab region
after the hopes raised by the uprisings and social movements in the region,
as well as the danger represented by the instrumentalization of the
Palestinian cause to repress fundamental and civil freedoms. This new
context has influenced the support of Palestine, which demonstrates the
importance of the involvement of civil forces in intersecting processes of
struggle between the local and the global in favor of freedom, democracy,
justice social and the sovereignty of peoples.

6-   The global movement opposed to Israel, the boycott and
anti-normalization movements and supporting the Palestinian cause, its
diversity and its overlaps: The aim here is to take stock of all the
emerging movements in favor of Palestine in north and south, their various
intellectual foundations and their efficiency on the ground including
political forces, unions and campaigns. It is a matter of grasping
everything they represented as a qualitative change in the mobilization of
new resources within world public opinion and exchanging experiences and
possible overlapping horizons.



7- Special workshop on the reality of Palestinian women and their
targeting, in cooperation with the Tunisian Association of women Democrat
