around the world in the academic, cultural and economic domains, this

is deeply rooted in the heritage of Palestinian popular resistance and that is
also inspired by the South African anti-apartheid struggle and the US civil
rights movement. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#606060"> </span></b></p><p style="text-align:left" class="MsoNormal">

ending Israel’s occupation, apartheid and denial of our refugees’ right of
