Hatim Kanaaneh writes the latest message in our series What Mondoweiss Means To Me. He explains that for a Palestinian citizen of Israel the media horizons are quite constricted so he searches online for alternative media: “And, lo and behold, there are media outlets with a wider readership and fresher frontiers, media organs that are opening new frontiers in fact. Mondoweiss for one. Voila! I will part with some of my retirement cash to support them. Please join me and donate today. ” We are asking Mondoweiss readers to help to raise $60,000 by December 31. Please donate and tell us what Mondoweiss means to you.
