In October, Mariam Barghouti interviewed Palestinian resistance fighter Nidal Khazem. Six months later after Israeli forces assassinated him, Barghouti returned to interview his father and share a previously unheard recording of her interview with Nidal.
On March 16, Nidal Khazem was assassinated by Israeli special forces alongside his comrade Yousef Shreim. Mondoweiss spoke with Khazem in October 2022 in Jenin refugee camp. This is his story.
For the second consecutive day, Palestinian cities in the West Bank are shut down in a general strike as protests erupt across Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, Jenin, and Hebron in response to an Israeli raid on Jenin refugee camp that killed four Palestinians and injured over 50.
Hundreds of Israeli soldiers raided the city in an operation to destroy the home of Raad Khazem, a 28-year-old Palestinian from Jenin who carried out a shooting attack in Tel Aviv earlier this year that killed three people.
The Jenin refugee camp has been in the spotlight since Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s announced that there would be “no limits” to a massive West Bank military operation following a deadly attack in Tel Aviv on April 7. Shatha Hanaysha speaks with residents and leaders in the camp about living under the constant threat of Israeli raids, and the history that is driving the Palestinian resistance.
There is a simple principle that Israel ignores: peace and security cannot be built without justice. A society based on the oppression of another people cannot dream of enjoying a normal life.
The story of Raad Khazem’s recent attack killing three Israelis in Tel Aviv is the story of Palestinians living under occupation.
