Qumsiyeh spoke in Pittsburgh at an event hosted by the Palestine Solidarity Committee on March 2nd. He has written a new book, Popular Resistance In Palestine, which will be published later this year. In part one of this feature on our last show, Qumsiyeh outlined the history of a century and a half of non-violent Palestinian resistance and described many examples. Today we’ll cover resistance in Qumsiyeh’s hometown of Beit Zahour, his research into the patterns of popular uprising throughout Palestinian history, and his outlook on the future.
