Mondoweiss speaks to celebrated Palestinian scholar Sabri Jiryis about his life, Zionism, the genocide in Gaza, and the judgements of history.

The shocking arrest of British pundit and Israel critic Sami Hamdi is yet another example of how far-right commentators wield influence in the Trump administration.

Here’s Israel’s strategy to continue the war on Gaza: find a pretext, no matter how baseless, use it to kill dozens of civilians and fighters, stop fire and claim you’re honoring the ceasefire. Then do it again.

As Palestinians in Gaza return to the ruins of what life used to be, the rubble becomes a promise of what could one day be rebuilt. Until then, it’s still home, even if it’s a tent.

Throughout the Gaza genocide, testimonies have documented the Israeli army’s use of Palestinian women as human shields. These are not isolated acts by rogue soldiers but a systematic practice known to Israeli commanders and acknowledged by soldiers.

A photojournalist and Palestine activist in Dallas is being detained by ICE over his social media posts.

Throughout the Gaza war, Israel has debated what to call it. The military says “October 7 War,” while Netanyahu wants “War of Redemption.” What’s clear is that Israel believes it can only resolve its ongoing cycle of crisis through genocidal violence.

Two years into the Gaza genocide, public opinion on Israel, Palestine, and U.S. policy has undergone a profound shift. A close examination of poll data shows Palestine is no longer a niche issue but one with real electoral consequences.

A chance encounter with one of my past students at the Islamic University of Gaza highlighted the paradox of surviving the Gaza genocide: feeling joy in surviving the war and sorrow in witnessing what our survival has cost us.

The fragile Gaza ceasefire is mostly holding even as Israeli violations kill more than a dozen people and Israel returns 195 Palestinian bodies, many showing signs of torture. The exchange of captives remains slow amid massive destruction; new reporting details Hamas confronting Israeli-backed gangs that have looted aid, and questions what statistics can’t capture about the dead. In the U.S., more Democrats are rejecting AIPAC money, and Portland officials are moving to investigate city ties to Israeli weapons.
