On April 5, thousands are gathering in Washington D.C. to stand up against the U.S.’s continued support for the genocide in Gaza and the Trump administration’s wave of domestic suppression.
UNRWA’s chief says dismantling the agency is “short-sighted” and will “sow the seeds of hatred, resentment, and future conflict.” Israeli forces fire at Palestinians seeking aid and food in Gaza City and detain others in southern Gaza.
The new two-state bill in the House promoted by progressive Congresspeople describes Israel as the “national home of the Jewish people.” This language is “unacceptable” to Palestinians, says Jafar Farah of the Mossawa Center in Haifa, because it prolongs discrimination embodied by the fact that Palestinians are not permitted to build a university in Nazareth over 40 years of demanding that right.
