A bipartisan group of 68 Senators are calling on the Biden administration to stop the United Nations Human Rights Council from investigating Israel’s latest assault on Gaza and end the council’s “discriminatory and unwarranted treatment of Israel.” Among the signatories, Raphael Warnock.

Join the Campaign to Defund Racism, which seeks to stop the exploitation of U.S. charitable status to fund the Israeli settler movement. The campaign addresses the financing of Israeli settler-colonialism, and responds to the decades-long battle to protect our lands and resources from the Galilee to Sheikh Jarrah to Bil’in to the Naqab.

Idit Silman has quit the Israeli government saying she “will not abet the harming of the Jewish identity of the State of Israel.” Her issue? Allowing leavened bread in hospitals.

The ideals of pluralism, human rights, and international law have suddenly been elevated in mainstream discourse. Now, we hope the glaring contradictions in U.S. foreign policy become clear: justifying the bombings of urban neighborhoods in Gaza and Yemen while condemning the same conduct in the Ukraine. We’ve told that story every way we know how since Mondoweiss’s inception. Please give today to help keep us at the forefront at this exciting moment when we may be able to shift the public understanding of what’s at stake.

From approximately April 3-17, 2002 Israeli military forces stormed the Jenin refugee camp, killing more than 50 Palestinians and making 13,000 people homeless. Jennifer Loewenstein remembers touring camp in the aftermath, and the media’s indifference to the onslaught.

If you support war crimes investigation of Putin, you need to demand accountability of Americans and their allies — George Bush for the Iraq catastrophe and Israel’s Gantz for bombing Gaza “back to the Stone Age,” as he bragged. But no one in our official culture cares about the ample American and Israeli track record of alleged war crimes. No, they shut such investigations down. The only consequences to Bush for the “unprovoked” war against Iraq — just what they say about Putin now — was he got shoes thrown at him.

Nadya Hajj powerfully conveys how new technologies make, re-make, and occasionally unmake ties in the global Palestinian community.

This is one of the most exciting times in the history of the Palestinian freedom struggle. Will you help Mondoweiss build a newsroom for all of Palestine to tell this story?

This week we saw what happens when the United States puts even mild political pressure on Israel.

In case you missed it, Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic lately issued a report that finds Israel’s treatment of Palestinians on the West Bank amounts to the crime of apartheid. The study came out on February 28 in the wake of five longer, wider-ranging, apartheid reports published since 2020 – and just before the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine published yet another apartheid report on March 21. Despite its quiet rollout, the study’s high quality and association with Harvard likely mean it will play a significant role in establishing Israel’s apartheid, and represents a victory for Palestinian human rights.
