    Originally published: Mondoweiss on December 7, 2023 by Yoav Haifawi (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Dec 09, 2023)

    Israel undermined the prisoner exchange with Hamas by widening the definition of “security prisoners” to include those held for little more than social media posts.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on December 3, 2023 by Philip Weiss (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Dec 05, 2023)

    Democrats are terrified because they are losing their grip on the young. A new poll says half of Americans under 35 see Hamas’s October 7 attack as justified by Palestinian grievances. Young Americans are seeing the enormity of genocide.

    Biden became ‘Genocide Joe’ thanks to the Israel lobby

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 29, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Why is Biden helpless to do what any decent person would do and oppose Israel’s apocalyptic destruction and massacres in Gaza? Because he worries about losing the organized Jewish community’s support.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 27, 2023 by Ameera Al-Beituni and Noor Hassan (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Nov 29, 2023)

    The Chicago City Council’s demonization of Palestinians set the stage for the murder of six-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume. We refuse to accept the grief of elected officials who would rather stand with our corpses than support our freedom.

    The Israeli ambassador to the United States was on CNN this morning assuring us that when the truce is over, “the operation will resume”—i.e., the vengeful destruction of life and property in Gaza will continue.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 20, 2023 by Yoav Haifawi (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Nov 22, 2023)

    Tel Aviv police refused to allow a silent vigil for World Children’s Day saying the event could “cause serious harm to public security.” Police have used this same rationale to attack and detain peaceful protesters around the country.

    Ayah Sha’ban was among 14 of her martyred family members in Gaza City. She was presumed dead and wrapped in a white shroud, but a security guard at Al-Shifa’ noticed her breathing and saved her. She still doesn’t know about her family’s fate.

    The death of Al-Shifa Hospital, the last bastion of humanity in northern Gaza

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 13, 2023 by Tareq Hajjaj (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Nov 14, 2023)

    People are dead in the streets in Gaza as hospital staff are unable to help the injured crying out for help outside hospitals. Medical workers who attempt to aid them are targeted and killed. No one is left to document the scale of the genocide.

    Dozens of Israeli doctors told the Israeli army that it must bomb Gaza’s hospitals, stating that “the residents of Gaza” have “brought their annihilation upon themselves” for allowing hospitals to become “terrorist nests.”

    Mainstream media ignores massive civil disobedience for Palestine that shut down New York’s Grand Central Station

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on October 28, 2023 by James North (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Oct 30, 2023)

    The huge antiwar protest for Palestine at New York’s Grand Central Station was the kind of media event that the mainstream press should eagerly cover. They ignored it.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on October 19, 2023 by Michael Arria (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Oct 20, 2023)

    “If we don’t get back to our shared humanity, I don’t think we will ever come back from this,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib told protesters. “And to our President: I want him to know, as a Palestinian-American and someone of Muslim faith, I’m not going to forget this. And I think a lot of people are not going to forget this.”

    U.S. networks are committing journalistic malpractice by only posting reporters in Israel

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on October 12, 2023 by Mondoweiss Editors (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Oct 14, 2023)

    U.S. reporters are providing breathless around the clock coverage from Israel, but none are reporting from the destruction of Gaza. The result is that Palestinians are dehumanized and Americans are missing the story.

    Israel is preparing to commit genocide

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on October 13, 2023 by Yumna Patel (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Oct 14, 2023)

    Israel has already dropped more bombs on Gaza in six days than the U.S. dropped on Afghanistan in a single year. Now, the Israeli military is ordering over one million Palestinian civilians to flee their homes. This is genocide and ethnic cleansing.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on October 10, 2023 by Tareq S. Hajjaj (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Oct 11, 2023)

    Israel is slowly cutting off Gaza’s communications with the outside world, because it wants to prevent us from revealing the massacres it is committing.

    Despite what you think, Palestinians are not celebrating death

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on October 9, 2023 by Hebh Jamal (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Oct 10, 2023)

    Palestinians do not rejoice over death but at the idea that we have a chance for freedom. I do not rejoice over death. I rejoice over the possibility to live.

    Targeting Palestinian children is necessary for Israeli settler colonialism

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on August 21, 2023 by Maren Mantovani (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Aug 25, 2023)

    Israeli settler colonialism and apartheid is based on the extermination of the indigenous population and the elimination of their hope of living freely. Palestinian children represent that hope.

    The independence of French Indochina after the Second World War triggered a wave of independence in the French-speaking African countries, and it appeared that French colonial foundations had suffered a huge blow in the early 1960s.
