Months after the International Court of Justice described Israel’s control of Palestine as an unlawful occupation and determined their actions against Palestinians are racially motivated, the world continues to look on as Israel continues to not only bomb Palestine but also other nearby countries and destabilize the region.
This is a complex situation that is far beyond a single hour-and-a-half meeting, but as thousands of people continue to die in the region, it is essential that we continue to keep the fate of Palestinians in the public eye.
How can Palestinians physically unharmed by the bombings still be described as “disabled”?
Why would a government want to disable but not kill a particular group?
What can be a source of disability that does not originate in a person’s body?
We will explore these and other questions together, keeping our discussion rooted to this article by Alice Wong:
