Event Overview (BLURB for the symposium)

“There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.” – Howard Zin

This symposium, "Perspectives on Palestine: Dialogues on History, Humanity, and Hope", dives into the urgent examination of the dire political and humanitarian situation in Palestine, particularly surrounding the Israeli military assault on the Gaza Strip that unfolded subsequent to the "Al-Aqsa" operation conducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

The bombardment unleashed by Israel through land, air, and sea has ruthlessly targeted Gaza's population, inflicting catastrophic consequences with approximately 22,000 casualties, up to January 2nd, 2024, predominantly among women and children. Alarming estimates from UNRWA indicate that a million people have been displaced, precipitating a collapse in the health sector and giving rise to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. In the face of such devastation, we cannot turn a blind eye to the human toll on innocent lives.

We strive to foster an unwavering sense of empathy, kindle the flames of compassion, and instill a genuine desire for the well-being of every individual ensnared by the ongoing situation. Together, let us confront the harsh realities and pave the way for a future where hope triumphs over despair.

活動概述（研討會簡介）

“沒有任何旗幟能大到可掩蓋殺害無辜人民的恥辱。” – 霍華德．辛

「巴勒斯坦觀點：歷史、人性與希望的對話」座談會的目的是直接切入來檢視巴勒斯坦危急的政治和人道情況，特別聚焦在以色列軍事對加薩走廊的襲擊，這是繼哈馬斯於2023年10月7日進行的「阿克薩」（Al-Aqsa）行動後展開的。

以色列通過陸、空和海上的轟炸無情地瞄準加薩的百姓，造成災難性後果，造成約22,000人傷亡，其中主要是婦女和兒童。聯合國難民救援機構令人震驚地估計有一百萬人被迫流離失所，導致了醫療部門的崩潰，引發了前所未有的人道災難。

面對這樣的破壞，我們不能對無辜生命所承受的人間悲劇視而不見。我們對每位陷入困境的個人抱以堅定的同理心，點燃慈悲之火，且真誠關懷之。讓我們攜手面對殘酷的現實，為「希望戰勝絕望」鋪出一條道路。
