Webinar: Fact-Checking on Israel and Palestine. Eva Benelli Interviews Arturo Marzano
Eva Benelli speaks with Arturo Marzano, Professor of History and Institutions of Asia at the University of Pisa and author of the recent book Questa terra è nostra da sempre (This Land Has Always Been Ours). The discussion takes the form of a genuine fact-checking exercise, in which commonly held assumptions and often distorted narratives that shape understandings of the history of Palestine and Israel are tested against the facts. The conversation also examines the role of Western powers in the conflict and explores possible solutions.

Alongside the real war, with its thousands upon thousands of victims, there is also a virtual one: the clash on social media and across the web between supporters of Israel and those who stand with Palestine.

For this reason, we organized a fact-checking event to finally bring clarity to the issue.
