CALL in solidarity with Gaza

Over a year ago, we hosted the seminar “Planning, Space, and Ethnic Conflict: Illuminating the Struggle over Israel/Palestine in Gaza and Beyond”, featuring palestinian and israeli scholars—Manal Totry-Jubran (Bar-Ilan University), Oren Yiftachel (Ben-Gurion University), and Omar Yousef (Al-Quds University). We explored the spatial-political dimensions of conflict, with a focus on domicide, urbicide, spacio-cide, genocide, urban segregation, and the right to land. As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, CALL reaffirms its commitment to justice. We unequivocally condemn the genocide and stand in solidarity with all those affected by occupation, violence, and dispossession.
