Food has returned to Gaza’s markets, but most people still can’t afford to eat 

By Tareq S. Hajjaj September 4, 2026 0

Prices have fallen sharply since the famine of 2025, but with purchasing power destroyed by nearly three years of war and displacement, food on the shelves remains out of reach for the majority of Gaza’s population.

This UAE-backed Fatah dissident is allying with Hamas and pushing a proposal to change Palestinian politics

By Qassam Muaddi September 4, 2026 2

A UAE-sponsored plan by exiled Fatah dissident Muhammad Dahlan to “end Palestinian division” has quietly become the working platform for an unlikely electoral alliance with Hamas. Here is what this could mean for the future of Palestinian politics.

‘They destroy, we build’: Gazans rebuild their homes out of mud and rubble

By Tareq S. Hajjaj September 2, 2026 1

As Israel continues to prevent the entry of reconstruction materials into Gaza, Palestinians rebuild their homes with salvaged rebar, recovered limestone, and clay. “This is the evidence of our love for our land,” Fayez Abu Shamala tells Mondoweiss.

What the latest flare-up between the U.S and Iran means

By Mitchell Plitnick September 4, 2026 0

The U.S. and Iran are trading strikes while carefully avoiding all-out war, and both sides are hiding the damage they’ve suffered. The difference is Iran has more reason to end the stalemate, and less patience for Washington’s forever-war strategy.

The Shift: House passes bill blocking schools from boycotting Israel

By Michael Arria September 3, 2026 5

An anti-BDS bill passed in the House 237-169 with heavy AIPAC-backed Democratic support, as the Trump administration quietly extends its Iran deployment to 2027 despite 63% of Americans opposing the war.

Palestine Letter: Reporting on one crisis after another

By Tareq S. Hajjaj September 2, 2026 5

Whenever a crisis emerges in Gaza — a water crisis, a food shortage, dwindling medical supplies — the alarms are sounded and just enough aid trickles in to make the problem fade away. Then it’s deliberately replaced by another crisis.

What do you do when you can’t hear the bombs? Being deaf during the Gaza genocide.

By Jumana Mughari September 2, 2026 2

Amid Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Palestinians with hearing impairments have been left particularly vulnerable, unable to hear incoming missiles or evacuation orders. Fadl Kuraz is one of the few who have devoted their lives to helping them survive.

Gaza’s archaeological heritage was destroyed in Israel’s genocide. These volunteers are trying to salvage it from the rubble.

By Tareq S. Hajjaj August 31, 2026 8

As Israeli strikes leveled museums and 5,000-year-old sites across Gaza, volunteers dug through the rubble by hand to save what they could. Meanwhile, looted artifacts quietly resurfaced in a Paris exhibition.

Palestinian Christians are disappearing. Warnings are not enough.

By Sami Mshasha August 30, 2026 32

Church leaders, activists, and Palestinian media keep sounding the alarm: Palestinian Christians are leaving the Holy Land. We need an institutional and economic strategy that makes staying a viable choice, not just a moral one.

After giving up on military force, Trump’s new plan to defeat Iran is…more economic sanctions?

By Mitchell Plitnick August 29, 2026 5

Trump’s “Operation Economic Outcast” to impose secondary sanctions on countries trading with Iran is a tacit admission of U.S. military defeat. But sanctions haven’t worked for 47 years, and Iran won’t let the U.S. decide when the shooting war ends.

The New York Times enabled the Gaza genocide and lost its legitimacy in the process

By Elliott Colla July 11, 2026 12

Professor Elliott Colla was a lifelong New York Times reader but can no longer trust the paper due to its coverage of Gaza. In fact, he’s found that there is a strong case for prosecuting many at the paper for their role in the genocide.
