Join us for the discussion and send in your questions for El-Kurd and Varoufakis
As Israel intensifies its brutal assault on Gaza, with airstrikes targeting civilians, schools, and shelters, the humanitarian catastrophe deepens. Entire families have been wiped out, famine is taking hold, and settler violence in the West Bank is surging. The outright genocide continues, yet global media coverage is dwindling and governments remain largely silent.
Our upcoming livestream on June 4 (20:00 CET), will cut through the silence and distortion. Palestinian writer and organiser Mohammed El-Kurd will join our co-founder Yanis Varoufakis in a candid, urgent conversation about the on-the-ground realities in Palestine, the failures of international response, and the imperative for global solidarity.
Mohammed El-Kurd is one of the most prominent Palestinian voices of his generation. From Jerusalem to international platforms like The Nation, The Guardian, and The New York Times, El-Kurd has consistently exposed the mechanisms of Israeli apartheid and displacement.
His poetry collection Rifqa gives a visceral voice to the Palestinian experience under occupation, and his fearless activism has earned him both global recognition and constant scrutiny.
DiEM25 has long called for an end to the Israeli occupation, the dismantling of the apartheid system, and full rights for Palestinians.
We reject the false equivalence often drawn between occupier and occupied, and we denounce the complicity of Western governments – many of whom continue to arm Israel and obstruct international justice mechanisms.
This livestream, hosted by Mehran Khalili, will dive deep into questions often ignored in mainstream discourse: What is really happening in Gaza and the West Bank? Why has the West failed to act meaningfully? And most importantly – what can citizens do to confront complicity and stand with Palestine?
Join us live and bring your questions to the panel. Because silence is not an option.
