Free speech is under attack—especially when it comes to Palestine.
From the censorship of student voices to the assassinations of journalists in Gaza, the cost of telling the truth about Palestine has never been higher. At Mondoweiss, we publish fearless reporting and critical analysis that others won’t touch—because we believe the public needs to know the truth about Palestine.
We’re funded by readers who believe in justice, transparency, and freedom of the press.

I bought a 1927 Palestine 5 Mil coin on Ebay. I keep it in my wallet.
I’m just waiting for some Zionist to pull the “currency” question out of their arse from the Dry Bones Palestine Quiz.

A guy called Tony Malone made a great rebuttal to this Hasbara nonsense here:

let me guess: the whole in the center of the coin represents the land without a people.
There you go again…
The Palestinian Pound was issued by the British Government – not the fictitious country of palestine, and was used as currency throughout what is currently Israel AND Jordan.
Last time I checked, Jordan had exactly zero jewish people living there and is significantly larger than israel. Yet, Israel is the one stealing land and engaging in ethnic cleansing.
Delusional…
The Hebrew inscription means Eretz Israel – the “Land Of Israel.”
British Palestine was a Jewish country! Only the Jews were Palestinian and every major company in the country was Jewish.
The Palestine World’s Fair Pavilion was Jewish.
“The Palestinian Pound was issued by the British Government – not the fictitious country of palestine,” where was it the legal currency? in a fictitious non-place, have you been reading Auge, if so you may have misconstrued.
what is the logical connection between the first and last sentences of your final para, is there one, I like the final word, quite so.
