In a conversation hosted by the Berlin-based group Israelis für Frieden (Israelis for Peace), Hazan and Sluzker-Amran will discuss the link between Israel’s current war crimes and the deep-rooted heritage of discrimination and oppression within Israeli society—targeting the Arab-Palestinian minority as well as Mizrahi Jews and other marginalized communities, and their analysis and experiences from the past 15 months of struggles against intense state violence and oppression within a public opinion that supports the war. In addition, they will share their perspectives on the situation and potential paths toward a future of equality and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.

Hazan, an Arab-Palestinian activist, is currently leading the Haifa branch of Hadash. She also serves as the chairperson of the Communist Party of Israel foreign relations committee. Over the last 15 months, Hazan has faced intensive police repression targeting the joint Jewish-Arab anti-war activism that Hadash has been advocating in Haifa and throughout Israel.

Sluzker-Amran is an Israeli feminist activist and human rights lawyer. She was one of the organizers of a civil protection initiative for aid convoys into Gaza and a co-founder of Breaking Walls, a feminist grassroots movement for civic activism, as well as Ezrachion, the people’s digital archive for social and political activism in Israel and Palestine.
