Prashad makes blistering condemnation of Israeli onslaught in Gaza
Dr Vijay Prashad

ACTIVIST, historian and journalist Dr Vijay Prashad condemned Israel’s onslaught in Gaza at a packed meeting at Oxford University on Monday evening.

Over 34,400 Palestinians have been killed by Israel so far during its campaign of collective punishment and revenge for the attack on October 7 by Hamas and other resistance fighters, during which 1,200 died and around 250 were taken hostage.

Dr Prashad, who spoke at the meeting organised by the Students Federation of India (UK) at Mansfield College, said there are things about war that rarely get talked about.
