Palestine Debate

Palestine Debate

Karma Nabulsi, Nuffield College, Oxford

Thursday 11 November 2004, Corpus Christi College

Karma Nebulsi spoke to the Hive the day after Yasser Arafat's death. She spoke passionately and insightfully about the situation in Palestine, with a very heated debate following the discussion. Below is a collection of links to Karma's recent articles, many of which were used in the talk. You may need to be in Oxford to access many of the articles, but please nonetheless persevere, they are very good. I hope the links are useful and interesting.
