Reject Normalization

Normalization, in the context of Palestine, refers to the process by which relationships, activities, and agreements are established with the Zionist settler-colonial state of Israel without addressing its occupation, oppression, and violations of Palestinian rights. This term includes normalization via diplomatic agreements, economic partnerships, cultural exchanges, and even rhetorical frameworks that equate the experiences of the occupier with the occupied.

Betrayal in Jenin: The PA’s Role in Suppressing Palestinian Resistance

The Palestinian Authority (PA), under the leadership of Mahmoud Abbas, operates as a dictatorship that functions to uphold the Zionist settler-colonial system, oppressing Palestinians rather than protecting their liberation. This betrayal of the Palestinian struggle is evident in its recent actions in Jenin, where the PA's violent crackdown against resistance groups has underscored its role as a subcontractor for Israeli interests.

Kamala or Trump? No Vote for Genocide.

The political landscape in the United States continues to disillusion and betray those who seek justice for Palestine. Both the Democratic and Republican parties have firmly entrenched themselves as complicit actors in the genocide against Palestinians. The rhetoric of "support for Israel" is not simply an issue of foreign policy—it is the endorsement of ethnic cleansing, systematic displacement, and war crimes. Kamala Harris, like so many in power, masks her complicity behind a veneer of progressivism. Her identity as a woman of color is weaponized to distract from her policies, which directly fund and legitimize the Zionist regime's brutal colonization of Palestine.

The Greater Israel Project

The vision of “Greater Israel” has roots in early Zionist thought, particularly in the writings and speeches of prominent figures such as Theodor Herzl, who envisioned a Jewish state that would stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates. This idea is based on biblical claims, which were appropriated by the Zionist movement to justify territorial expansion and the displacement of indigenous populations. Zionist leaders have often referred to this notion, not merely as a religious ideal, but as a political objective necessary for the survival and security of the settler colony.

The Oslo Accords of 1993

Being driven by a desire for power and blinded by the illusion of diplomatic progress, the signing of Oslo Accord I in 1993 marked the moment when the Palestinian Liberation Organization, under Yasser Arafat, recognized “Israel” becoming a puppet to the occupation. The accord, driven by secret talks in Norway and heavily influenced by Western interests, was fundamentally flawed from the start. "Israel" sought international legitimacy while continuing the illegal occupation of Palestinian land. The accord was brokered by the U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Islam and Palestine

Islam and Palestine

Islam is inseparable from the Palestinian identity, yet it does not exclude solidarity among Palestinians of other faiths. When families in Gaza face the loss of loved ones, they perform the Janaza prayer, seeking solace in the belief that martyrs are not dead but alive with their Lord, as described in the Quran: "Do not consider those who are slain in the path of Allah as dead; rather, they are alive and well-provided for by their Lord." (Quran 3:169).

However, the Zionist settler regime has imposed severe restrictions on the practice of Islam, particularly in accessing Masjid Al-Aqsa, the third holiest site in Islam. These restrictions are not just about limiting access to a place of worship but are part of a broader attempt to dominate and erase Palestinian presence in their own land.

The Naksa of 1967

The 1967 Naksa, or “setback,” was an attempt by the settler colony of “Israel” to brutally finish the job of the 1948 Nakba. We call it “setback” as it was instrumental in “Israel’s” violent land grab of what was left of historical Palestine including the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the additional territory of the Golan Heights in Syria and Sinai in Egypt, resulting in “Israel” tripling in size (27,000 sq km).

The Tantura Massacre

The Tantura Massacre

The fishing village of Tantura, with a population of approximately 1,500, was one of 64 coastal villages between Haifa and Jaffa that were ethnically cleansed against the backdrop of the Nakba in 1948. On May 22 to 23, 1948, a week after the Zionist state claimed its ‘independence,’ soldiers of the Alexandroni Brigade (currently part of the IOF) carried out a premeditated massacre of over 200 unarmed Palestinians. This attack, typical of many during the beginning of the Nakba, resulted in the depopulation and destruction of Tantura, as well as the theft of its lands by ‘Israel.’
