講座摘要：

想理解錫安主義屯墾殖民史嗎？本次講座分兩部分，我們將從十九世紀末錫安主義者在巴勒斯坦的屯墾之初開始講起，探討錫安主義者如何利用身體和土地之間的關係，編造猶太神話，藉此深化猶太民族對巴勒斯坦領土的所有權。想理解錫安主義就必須了解根植種族、性別和肉身的身體政治。

活動第二部分，我們也將探討為何「巴勒斯坦酷兒BDS計畫」在十多年前就開始呼籲抵制以色列。我們也將由今日的種族滅絕的背景，審視以色列的粉紅清洗策略。以色列用粉紅清洗的政治宣傳手段，將自身佯裝成多元性別的自由之地，來分散國際對以國罪刑的關注。本階段我們也會了解巴勒斯坦酷兒為何將粉紅清洗視為一種殖民暴力。

本場活動收入的一部分會捐給巴勒斯坦救援團體。

ENGLISH

Always wanted to learn more about the longer history of Zionist settler colonialism? In this two-part talk, we will begin with early Zionist settling in Palestine in the late 19th century to look at how Zionists used the relationship between the body and the land to create myths of perpetual Jewish ownership. To understand Zionism, we have to understand it as a particular kind of body politics rooted in ideas about race, gender and the body.

In the second part, we will look at why Palestinian Queers for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions called for a boycott of Israel over a decade ago. We will look at Israel's pinkwashing campaign in the context of the genocide in Palestine today. Pinkwashing is a propaganda strategy aimed at diverting attention from Israel's crimes by presenting the country as a beacon of sexual freedom. We will learn why Palestinian queers describe pinkwashing as colonial violence.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Palestinian relief.
