“this community ended up rebuilding itself from scratch. It's succeeded despite Israel, not because of Israel,”
Diana Buttu is a Palestinian-Canadian lawyer and analyst well-known for her sharp insights on Middle Eastern politics, especially the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She became prominent as a spokesperson for the Palestine Liberation Organization during crucial negotiations and has staunchly advocated for Palestinian rights at numerous international forums. Buttu played a significant role in promoting the 2004 International Court of Justice advisory opinion, which questioned the legality of the Israeli separation barrier.
Interviewed on Owen Jones' KZitem channel in a video titled "Israel Faces Defeat: Palestinian Ex-Negotiator Diana Buttu Explains," Diana Buttu discusses the challenges faced by Palestinians holding Israeli citizenship. She explains the historical and ongoing struggles endured by Palestinians who survived the 1948 Nakba and now live under Israeli laws that marginalise and disenfranchise them. Buttu also highlights the difficult reality of these citizens having to coexist with those who perpetrated violence and destruction against their communities.
