Join me as I make delicious Palestinian ma’amoul for Eid! I have made these date, pistachio, and walnut stuffed delicacies every Eid with my late mom since I was 6 years old.

I will briefly go over the history of ma’amoul, discuss its significance for both Muslim and Christian celebrations, and we will chat about Palestine together and prepare these treats as a form of resistance against Zionist attempts to erase Palestinian identity and suppress our happiness.

This foundational workshop introduces participants to the history of Palestine, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and breaks down important terms and concepts about Palestine.

Maklooba, which translates to “upside-down” in English, is a traditional Palestinian dish made in different ways, but includes vegetables and meat and we flip it at the end before we eat. It is my absolute favorite dish. Today I will be preparing it for some of my friends, so please join me as we talk about its history, different variations, and prepare this delicious meal!

This workshop will provide attendees with essential knowledge and skills to critically read, analyze, and support important journalistic work on Palestine, crucial to counter Zionist propaganda.

Looking at Canada’s role in supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and its global imperialism at large. Highlighting key points from Yves Engler’s book “Canada and Israel Building Apartheid” while also sharing key parts from my Master’s research that expose Canada’s image as a global peacekeeper and how it has long used that image to camouflage its oppression of Indigenous populations globally.
