After a ten day siege, the Israeli army invaded Aqbat Jabr refugee camp in Jericho and assassinated five resistance fighters in the camp, signaling the extension of armed resistance beyond Nablus and Jenin.

Palestinian refugees in Gaza are being displaced by the Hamas-led government to make way for a coastal highway. Although residents have built their homes out of their own pockets over several generations, the government says they have the right to demolish the homes because the residents do not officially own the land in Al-Shati Refugee Camp.

“When the Israeli gunboat fired towards us, we refused to leave our homes,” Nasser Abu Saif tells Mondoweiss “I spent my life suffering. Now at the end of my life the government will take my home instead of supporting me and my family?”

Mondoweiss Managing Editor Faris Giacaman shares the evolution of Palestinian armed resistance over the past 25 years, and how it set the stage for the latest Israeli attack on Gaza.

Israel’s latest attack on Gaza shows it is running out of options, and creating popular opposition around the world in the process. 

Twelve Palestinians, including a five-year-old child, were killed after Israeli air strikes targeted a civilian tower and several locations in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The existence of Hamas is used by Israel to justify the siege of Gaza and also the paralysis of peace talks. Hamas has become a convenient excuse for indefinite occupation. It may well be time to broach the taboo subject of talking to Hamas and seek a way of bringing them into the peace conversation. Certainly, there can be no peace without Hamas and its followers participating in some way or another.

In 2015, a Palestinian woman was raped and sodomized by Israeli soldiers under orders from high-ranking army and Shin Bet commanders. The horrible case exemplifies Israeli apartheid.

Israel bombs Palestinian attackers and kills some “innocent” civilians in Gaza, according to Israel advocate Robert Wexler. Do Palestinians have the same right: to attack their attackers in Israel?

To say the current Palestinian political crisis is simply a Hamas-Fatah split is to ignore a history of division that cannot be solely blamed on Palestinians.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett gave a speech to the U.N. General Assembly Monday in which he said that Israel has a diverse democracy “in the toughest neighborhood on earth,” and Iran is trying to destroy Israel through its “terror” proxies.
