At Mondoweiss we believe that publishing a wide range of eloquent voices can raise the level of discourse, challenge widespread lies, and help change minds for better policy. The website has become a major resource for justice in Israel/Palestine because of you. Your attention, your comments, your word of mouth, and your donations. We are proud of the content we’ve been able to deliver using minimal resources, but to increase Mondoweiss’s impact, we need you to spread the word and provide financial support.
When you give to Mondoweiss, what are you investing in? You are helping bring to light stories like Dan Cohen’s article about two-year-old Ahmad Najjar and his family, forced to live in a metal shipping container since Israel bombed their home in Gaza last summer. And you make possible coverage like the photo essay by Abed Al Qaisi that we published on Nakba Day 2015, revealing the lives of Palestinian refugees in Iraq never seen in mainstream American media. Each of you has your own reasons for visiting Mondoweiss, a unique news operation that serves an amazing community of activists and thinkers. Please donate today to help us raise $50,000 by July 15 to continue this important work.
Haaretz reports: Explosives expert Sami Najar, who the Shin Bet says is a potential danger to national security, is the only one left in detention out of over 100 Gazans arrested last summer. The Shin Bet security service says Najar remains in administrative detention because he has exceptional knowledge about building explosive devices. For now, it is not known when he will be released.
In the latest message in our series, “Be The Mondoweiss Megaphone,” Editor-at-large Annie Robbins shares her inspiration for working to cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: “My hopes and dreams are that Palestine will be free.

Recently, we’ve introduced a new tool that, with your help, can increase the attention and sense of urgency among people less focused on Israel/Palestine — the weekly Mondoweiss e-newsletter.
