The right to resist is enshrined in international law, based on a principle of self-determination for all people under occupation and colonial rule. Though Palestinians are also recognized as having such rights under the Geneva Conventions, Palestinian resistance and armed struggle are often mischaracterized as unwarranted and barbarious in Western media, preventing an understanding of the nuances and realities of its evolution across the 20th and 21st century. Focusing on the Arab Revolts against the Ottoman Empire and the British colonial presence, the First and Second Intifada, and other contemporary examples of militant and nonviolent resistance in Gaza and the West Bank, this teach-in provides a genealogy of popular resistance and uprisings in Palestine against the multiple waves of settlement, expulsion, and disenfranchisement.
