@danaelkurd.bsky.social talks with @yara-asi.bsky.social about the attacks on Palestinian health in Gaza and the West Bank, and the Israeli policies and objectives driving these attacks.
@palestinestudies.bsky.socialReposted by @yara-asi.bsky.socialWe’ve put together a fall syllabus drawn from more than five decades of scholarship in the Journal of Palestine Studies & our digital encyclopedia, PalQuest.
Use it to build a course, anchor a thesis, or simply read more deeply this semester.
