Barak Ravid’s new book on the Trump administration offers a fascinating look at how the “special relationship” works.

A wave of settler violence spread across the occupied West Bank in the early hours of Friday morning, severely injuring several Palestinians and causing damage to their property, in a series of “revenge” attacks following the killing of an Israeli settler. 

Israel’s 11-day offensive on Gaza last May claimed 259 Palestinian lives, and the UK nonprofit Airwars estimated that between 151 and 192 were “non-combatant” civilians. On just one day Israel killed more than 56 civilians in what has come to be known as the al-Wahda street massacre, while targeting tunnels in Gaza City. Of these, at least 25 fatalities were likely children.

Donald Trump’s normalization deal known as The Abraham Accords wasn’t enough for Benjamin Netanyahu, so he surprised the U.S. administration with a call to annex the West Bank.

People in Gaza love to tell our stories. As Mondoweiss’s Gaza correspondent, I find that every door is open for my questions, and it is a true honor to try to faithfully and clearly explain what life is like in Gaza to the rest of the world. Please help Mondoweiss continue to tell Palestinians’ stories with a year-end gift today.

German police removed a campus Palestinian advocacy group from a student government meeting after the pro-Palestinian students staged a protest over a bill that prevented students who support BDS from renting rooms at the university.

Trump says Israel used him to attack Iran, and Netanyahu was “willing to fight Iran to the last American soldier.” That ought to be big news– especially as Israel’s defense minister gets unrivaled access in Washington and pushes war to block the Iran deal. But only the leftwing press is focused on Israel’s efforts to spark another war.

I was a sophomore in high school in 2020 when I helped build a youth movement and online cult of personality around Senator Ed Markey that helped him get elected. Now, his lack of accountability on Palestine has shown me the limitations of electoral politics.

South Florida’s Jewish press has not published articles explaining Palestinian history to Jews who would actually be open to such information. Instead, we see accusations of antisemitism hurled at supporters of Palestinian human rights, an attempt to derail the message of justice for a people who have been denied their rights for far too long.

What we’re doing at Mondoweiss can’t necessarily be measured in weeks, months, or even years. But over the last 12 months we’ve seen the stories Mondoweiss has championed for years finally break into the mainstream media. We need your help to keep telling the stories that change the narrative.
