After the Mapping Project published a study of links between establishment institutions responsible for the colonization of Palestine, and the economy of imperialism and war, and policing and gentrification, critics landed on it as a supposed antisemitic hitlist. We honor the Mapping Project’s work in a tradition of activist journalism; and recognize a familiar pattern: Whenever Israel lobby organizations in the Jewish community are held to account for their power over the discourse and U.S. policy, those same organizations seek to stifle the criticism by alleging antisemitism.

An interview with the activists behind the Mapping Project, a project created to “investigate local links between entities responsible for the colonization of Palestine, for colonialism and dispossession here where we live, and for the economy of imperialism and war.”

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?

Our mission is to share the realities of Palestine in the US, and to amplify the growing movement for Palestinian rights. These are stories that help power a movement. And it all happens only because of the support you give us.

As we approach the end of the year, even in the face of so much suffering, I believe we will look back on 2021 as a significant year for Palestinian human rights making incredible progress despite unrelenting attacks. The flashpoints of change were all years in the making and Mondoweiss has covered them from the beginning for you by providing a megaphone for Palestinians and their allies. Please help us continue this important work by making a donation today that will be matched dollar for dollar.

Israel’s declaration of six leading Palestinian human rights and civil society groups as “terrorist” organizations continues to have reverberations in Washington. Rep. Betty McCollum has introduced a resolution calling on the U.S. House of Representatives to condemn Israel’s announcement, and specifically called for the Biden administration to “publicly condemn this authoritarian and antidemocratic act of repression by the Government of Israel against prominent Palestinian civil society organizations.”

During its attack on Gaza in May, Israel destroyed the offices of APA Images, the photo agency that Mondoweiss relies on to give you the news from Palestine. Today, we are proud to announce that we are joining with our friends at The Electronic Intifada and the Middle East Children’s Alliance to raise funds to replace APA’s destroyed equipment, and promote journalism in Gaza.

Mondoweiss is one of the few news organizations that covers the struggle for Palestinian rights in a U.S. context, and this has been a challenging year financially. Fortunately, during the current spring fundraising drive many of you have stepped forward to help us meet a $30,000 challenge. Inspired by your generous support, a Mondoweiss supporter has sent us a “flash match” challenge: If we can raise another $5,000 by this weekend, this friend will double it. This is a great time to leverage your gift so that it goes three times as far.
