Sixty years after al-Nakba, with the Palestinian refugees representing the longest-running refugee situation in modern history, the Question of Palestine remains one of the core issues of the international arena.
In Sydney, the Coalition for Justice & Peace in Palestine joins communities around the world in remembering Al-Nakba.

Welcome dinner for Ali Abunimah a great success
This was a most successful event. In the first of his many speaking engagements around the country, Mr Abunimeh  gave an inspiring and challenging speech, explaining why in his opinion, a one-state solution is necessary in Palestine and Israel.
His thesis was that the two countries are now so interconnected, geographically and economically, it would be impossible to separate them. He looked to post-apartheid South Africa and the six counties of Northern Ireland as examples of conflict resolution which was working while acknowledging the problems that still existed in those communities.
Mr Abunimeh said he was most impressed that at the three functions he had attended on his first day in Australia, each one began with an acknowlegement of the Aboriginal custodians of the land.
Mr Abunimeh will be speaking at a number of venues in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide. His Sydney appearances are listed on our events page.
