More than 1000 academics, artists and intellectuals have signed a “Declaration on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid in Historic Palestine.” There used to be a mainstream prohibition on the word apartheid. In 2021, that logjam has broken. The world’s civil societies have had enough. Across countries and continents, across age groups and ethnicities, the marches, the manifestos, the opeds, the motions passed overwhelmingly have swelled into a torrent.

Tunisian leaders have ignored popular demands and secretly normalized relations with Israel. Palestinian solidarity activists can counter these moves by targeting Israeli companies that sell Tunisia spyware and irrigation technology.

Mathematical models developed by Ines Abdeljaoued-Tej aim to determine the actual number of COVID-19 cases in Palestine, and predict the course of the epidemic. Those models currently predict between 11,014 and 113,171 cases of COVID-19 in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
