SUMMARY:Love in the Time of Apartheid
DESCRIPTION:\n\nHow will many Palestinians be spending their Valentine's Da
 y?\n\nFor a lot of us in the UK\, Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate
  love and romance\; to show our affection through gifts\, cards\, and flow
 ers. Or we may choose to avoid the hyper-consumerism in the Hallmark holid
 ay\, shun the ritualistic exchange of commodities\, and simply spend time 
 with those we hold dear.\n\nFor Palestinians\, however\, February 14th com
 es as a reminder of Israel’s suffocating restrictions on their movement\
 , cutting them off from their loved ones. A coercive matrix of ID cards\, 
 blockades\, borders and prisons means many Palestinians are separated from
  their Valentines\, simply because they are Palestinian\, and live under a
  discriminatory system of rule amounting to the crime of apartheid.\n\nFor
  those living under Israel’s brutal military occupation of their land\, 
 even the act of buying a gift is fraught with difficulty. Segregated roads
 \, soldiers and checkpoints can make going to the shop a difficult affair.
 \n\nDon't miss this fascinating free online talk and film screening to lea
 rn more about how many Palestinians will be spending Valentine’s Day. We
 'll be joined by Palestinian journalist and filmmaker Elia Ghorbiah\, as w
 ell as more speakers to be announced.\n\nFilm: The Present by Farah Nabu
 lsi (2020\, 24') \nYusef and his daughter\, Yasmine\, set out in the West
  Bank to buy his wife a gift. Between the soldiers\, segregated roads and 
 checkpoints\, how easy would it be to go shopping?\n\nRegister below to jo
 in us on Saturday 13th February!\n\n[gravityform id="66" title="true" desc
