The Oxford Union at UK’s prestigious Oxford University hosted a historic debate on November 28, titled, “This House Believes Israel is an Apartheid State Responsible for Genocide”.

The debate followed arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli military affairs minister Yoav Gallant.

It featured US political scientist Norman Finkelstein, American activist Miko Peled, Palestinian-American author and activist Susan Abulhawa and Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd.
