American taxpayers fund the Israeli army with billions of dollars per year; however, they know little about the Palestinians who live under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank, are victims of a genocide in Gaza, or hold Israeli citizenship. Moreover, when Palestinians are discussed in American media or the halls of power, they are portrayed exclusively through a terrorism lens that reinforces false Islamophobic and anti-Arab stereotypes.

The annual Humanizing Palestine Lecture Series hosted by the Rutgers Center for Security, Race and Rights features scholars who center the lived experiences, voices, culture and political analysis of Palestinians and their allies.
