Britain and the Ongoing Nakba in Palestine
Co-sponsored by the Centre for Palestine Studies (SOAS) International State Crime Initiative, Queen Mary University of London
As Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people continues, we marked Nakba Day with a panel discussion on Britain’s historic and contemporary role in the ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian people. Leading scholars of Palestinian history and politics, Professor Avi Shlaim, Professor Abdel Razzaq Takriti and Dr Chandni Desai examine this hidden history, exploring the origins of the present-day genocide in Gaza in Britain's colonial past, and drawing out the lessons for British policymakers today.
This was the second event of the British Palestinian Committee’s new policy roundtable series on Green-lighting Genocide: Britain and the War on Palestine.

Leading international law scholars, Dr Nimer Sultany, Dr Thomas MacManus and Dr Michelle Staggs Kelsall discuss the ICJ’s landmark interim decision on Israel and its war on Gaza, considering what it means for the prospects of bringing the genocide to an end, and the implications for British policy towards Palestine.
This was the first event of the British Palestinian Committee’s new policy roundtable series on Green-lighting Genocide: Britain and the War on Palestine.
The first event was titled “The ICJ Ruling: Britain, Palestine and the International Rule of Law” and was co-sponsored by SOAS Centre for Palestine Studies and International State Crime Initiative.
