The Electronic Intifada

Refaat Alareer and the online culture war Western media institutions excused the intellectual's murder by deeming him "controversial."

Refaat showed me how brave Gaza City was, as well as how funny its people were, despite decades of war, isolation and imprisonment.

West Bank journalists persevere to be the “voice of our people” Israel has aggressively moved to further fragment the occupied West Bank. Caught between the military, settlers and a hostile PA, reporters feel the brunt.

“We realize that, as Palestinian journalists, we are directly targeted because we convey a message that challenges the stereotypes perpetuated by the Israeli media.”

Two brothers tell tales from detention My brothers were detained from a checkpoint and subjected to months of torture and ill-treatment without ever being classified as prisoners.

Since my brothers were released, they always ask us to pray for the thousands of prisoners still suffering in Israeli detention. #eiGazaDispatches

A tribute to Captain Bahjat Bahjat Tantish was a pillar of Palestine’s sports community, an inspiring karate coach, a policeman and a farmer.

“Bahjat took the shell instead of me. He stood between me and death. He saved me, but at the cost of his life.” #eiGazaDispatches

What to expect when needing surgery during genocide My operation was routine, but the crowds, the constant danger and the lack of medicine and food made every day a test.

“We can’t find a bed to put a patient on. We can’t move people out because they have no homes to go to.” #eiGazaDispatches

The US bulldozed the prospect of Uniting for Peace in Palestine UN endorsement of Trump plan a “colonial outrage” that will ultimately implode.

“UN Resolution 2803 puts Gaza in the hands of a puppet administration, with the US as the new manager of an open-air prison, further crushing Palestine's right to self-determination and any path to peace.”

Pregnant women in Gaza face catastrophic scenarios Israel’s 200,000 tonnes of explosives will continue to harm Gaza’s next generation.

“The wife of my husband's brother gave birth five times before and never had a miscarriage,” Elmrany, a midwife, said. “In this war, she miscarried.” #eiGazaDispatches

Trapped by yellow The US-brokered ceasefire plan has divided Gaza with a deadly boundary.

The yellow line does not seem like a temporary measure and people fear it hardening into a permanent scar. #eiGazaDispatches

Israel killed their four children Muhammad and Amal tell their story.

Exclusive: Absconded activist refuses to be “prisoner of war” Sean Middlebrough says he and fellow Palestine Action activists were “kidnapped” by British counter-terrorism police at the point of a gun.

“I am not on the run. I am merely being sensible.”

No end to genocide The ceasefire agreement simply means that Israel is able to do whatever it wants.

In Gaza, we all want this ceasefire to hold, to save what remains of our home. Still, it does not take a genius to see that the ceasefire plan is nothing but a grotesque charade. #eiGazaDispatches

How CCTV footage of Maccabi riots in Amsterdam went missing Dutch authorities have tried to explain why two criminal cases involving Israeli football hooligans were dismissed from prosecution. Their statements are inconsistent, contradictory and incomplete.

The failure to secure all evidence gives rise to the disruptive notion, true or false, that to Dutch authorities Dutch Muslims matter less than Israeli Jews.

Will it hold? New US rhetoric, but same Israel.

Israel has not only proven perfectly happy to break ceasefires at will, it will also be smarting from what cannot be described as anything other than a defeat.

Displacement begins with a scissor’s cut On the walk south, the author confronts memory, loss and the reality of an irreparable break with the past.

Somewhere deep inside, a fragile hope began to take shape. Maybe this time the shelling would stop, maybe this time the sky would stay quiet. #eiGazaDispatches

Nothing to return to The author and her relatives took a long hard road south just before the latest ceasefire was announced.

We began to walk – my family, my relatives, 31 people in all. There were no streets left, no standing houses, only rubble. So we bade farewell to the ruins, ruins that once had been homes filled with life. #eiGazaDispatches

Balfour’s university skirts demands it end entanglement in Gaza genocide A knife attack at a student protest at the University of Edinburgh reveals much about institutional hypocrisy.

The pressure is working. The grounds for divestment are indisputable. Divestment is an inevitable reality.

Israel was part of the conspiracy to kill JFK There's growing proof that Israeli intelligence played a role in the assassination.

Israel’s imposed famine hits hard Hungry and emaciated, children are the first and most severely affected.

“Imagine a hungry doctor who leaves his starving children at home to come to the hospital, where he works with hungry colleagues who also left their own starving children behind to treat hungry and exhausted people.” #eiGazaDispatches

Nightmares asleep, nightmares awake Israel targeted and destroyed a high-rise tower adjacent to our building but we refuse to leave.

If death must come, it can find us in Gaza City – the place where we were raised and where we took our first breaths and our first steps. #eiGazaDispatches

Who profited off 7 October? Suspicious short selling, a prime minister unwilling to form an independent commission, and revelations from the military suggests Israel’s story on 7 October is not the full picture.

Suspicious stock market activity just days before the October attack, lends weight to the theory that someone somewhere knew something.

Israel accelerates annexation amid statehood recognition moves Palestinians in the West Bank, who see European acknowledgments of statehood as symbolic, are increasingly confined to open-air prisons.

“Palestinians here are besieged with gates at the entrances to their cities and villages, in open air prisons. The army enters at any moment, kills, injures, expels.”
