What we experienced is just a drop in the bucket of all the violations that journalists, primarily Palestinian journalists, face while working under occupation. Arbitrary detention and arrest seem mild when compared to the execution of our colleagues like Shireen Abu Akleh and Yaser Murtaja. 

According to the WCC’s governing body, the “occupation continues to contradict the equal human dignity and human rights of Palestinians while the response of the international community continues to reflect egregious double standards.”

Journalist and activist Basil al-Adraa explains how a recent decision by Israel’s High Court to green light the destruction of eight villages in his home of Masafer Yatta, an area of 20 Palestinian communities in the West Bank’s South Hebron Hills, gives judicial consent to the violence Israeli forces and settlers have practiced for decades.

The battle between J Street and AIPAC to influence the Democratic Party is also opening space for Palestine solidarity to enter the mainstream.

Two congressional letters to the Biden administration on the ethnic cleansing in Masafer Yatta show the differences within the Democratic Party when it comes to Palestine.

What is happening in Masafer Yatta is not only the largest ethnic cleansing scheme to be carried out by Israel since 1967, but the move should be considered a first step in a much larger scheme of illegal land appropriation, ethnic cleansing and official mass annexation. 

On May 29th, fascist Zionist settlers held a flag march throughout Palestinian areas of Jerusalem’s Old City. Rotted to the core with colonial racism, this march was intended to celebrate Zionist forces’ seizure of East Jerusalem in 1967. But in the seeming surety of escalating violence, an anxiety about belonging lurks. A state defined by and through the negation of the native, through sanctioned racism and supremacy, is a state running on borrowed time. The settlers may have marched on Sunday. And they may have waved their flags. But their flag, like their state, will fall.

83 congressional Democrats call on Biden to stop Israel from forcibly displacing 1,000 Palestinians from Masafer Yatta in the southern West Bank.

The Palestinian table is famous for its abundance, but Palestinian food sovereignty is under threat due to Israel’s system of settler-colonialism and apartheid.

The Israeli High Court on Wednesday greenlit the forcible expulsion of 1,200 Palestinians in the Masafer Yatta area of the southern occupied West Bank, ending a more than two-decade battle in the courts.
