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.

Maybe someone can explain this to me.
This camp is in the middle of Gaza. Why are they burning tires and “protesting” when they are the only ones there? Or this is just for the photo-op?
This is what the Lobby wants. WE will be shown pics and film of Palestinians rioting and speaking against America and be told they hate us for our freedom and hate Jews cuz they are racists and this will be used to continue killing Palestinians and driving them out of their land.
What human problem has burning tires ever NOT solved? Malaria, poverty, homelessness, polio, cancer, homicide, political strife, you name it – all these issues can be most successfully resolved by the burning of tires. All these kids spending time studying math in the middle of the night and learning to be surgeons – losers.
Nothing is certain or absolute (Heisenberg principle). Nonetheless, a reasonable prediction is that the proportion of engineers and doctors (or future ones) in crowds of people burning tires is relatively low. (Anywhere, for any reason).
