Palestine solidarity crackdown: challenges in the US & Europe

JVL Introduction

Al Shabaka has published a partial transcript of a conversation with Layla Kattermann of the European Legal Support Center (ELSC) and Diala Shamas of the US Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)

It discusses the obstacles in the way of Palestine solidarity, in Europe and America.

These range from smear campaigns of individuals and groups, online de-platforming, withdrawal of use of venues, cancellations of events, threats of deportation and disinvitations, to the outright banning of any marches in solidarity with Palestine or the display of Palestinian symbols of any kind.

The European Legal Support Center (ELSC) and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) provide legal help and support wherever they can and are bulwarks of resistance to the current repression.
