De-Colonizer organised a visit for Israelis to the Palestine Museum of Natural History in Bethlehem. The museum's director and founder Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh will introduce this fascinating work done at the museum. As political activists we usually tend to look only on the injustices under the Israeli occupation in their numerous forms but are not used to look at the impacts of colonialism on the nature, and see the great work done by many Palestinians as part of the resistance too, even though not « direct » one, in its traditional sense. We forget that in harsh conditions, knowledge can also be produced in creative ways.
