This Sunday’s Revolution! event, titled ‘Palestine and the Crisis of Democracy’, is an opportunity to discuss in depth all aspects of the deepening crisis in the Middle East. The stellar line-up of speakers includes Ghassan Abu Sittah, Jeremy Corbyn, Lindsey German, Tariq Ali, Ghada Karmi, Yanis Varoufakis (Zoom), Katherine Connelly, John Rees, Michael Lavalette, Shabbir Lakha and more.
