Description:

Join the Native American and Indigenous Students Alliance and Students for Justice in Palestine for a discussion with Krystal Two Bulls on water politics in Gaza and the US.

Both the Native Palestinian and Native American people are fighting for their water against settler colonialism. In the US, #NoDAPL is one of the many indigenous resistance sites fighting against militarized police and big oil companies to stop drilling through their land to preserve their right to water and life.

Meanwhile in Palestine, as the Israeli occupation enters its 50th year, 90% of Gazans cannot drink their tap water. In 2014, Israel bombed Gaza for more than 30 days, killing over 2000 civilians, 500 of whom children and heavily damaged Gaza’s only water treatment plant. Israel’s Apartheid policies has prevented Gazans from rebuilding their water treatment plant and Gaza is projected to be uninhabitable by 2020.

From Palestine to Standing Rock, water is life.
