In April, Walid Daqqa was killed by Israel after 38 years in prison. I wrote an essay about his life and prison writings, which can help us understand the captives’ movement, strategies of hunger strike and prisoner exchange, and October 7

The profile contains more references to the grief & tears of American Jews than it does of Rafah. In this sense, its interests are petty and malicious; a perfect symbol for its host magazine, which has spent a year dutifully ignoring and manufacturing consent for genocide in Gaza

Respectfully, this analysis is wrong for multiple reasons. The idea that Arabs demand anti-Zionism of Jews the way white supremacists demand Zionism of Jews is racist syllogism. We demand anti-Zionism of everyone, not Jews in particular, as a condition of survival and solidarity

The meaning of the ICJ opinion today is that the narrative that Palestinians from Gaza crossed a sovereign border on 7 Oct and attacked a peace-loving and unsuspecting Israel is fiction. False. Delusional. Colonial occupation and apartheid are a permanent and daily aggression.
