"Among the items Israel restricts are drainage equipment, heaters and solar equipment, and reconstruction items such as cement and timber, many of which are classified as “dual-use” items."

The fascists don't have the culture. And THIS absolutely enrages them.

The boycott of PEN America led by Writers Against the War on Gaza was a success. On December 31st, 2025, Writers Against the War on Gaza ended their boycott of PEN America, declaring a win in the collective effort of pressure and condemnation that they helped to organize: …as P…

Icymi, when writers organize, they win.

As Writers Against the War on Gaza lifts its PEN America boycott, it looks back at the power of collective pressure, and looks ahead toward the work to come.

A small but concrete task for today:

Sameer Project told us on 12/25 that it costs $38 for 1 blanket, which can help keep a family that is in their 3rd winter in genocide (😢) warm.

Can anyone join us today in donating the cost of one blanket to Sameer? Can you get 1 other person to join you?

For Palestinian filmmakers in Israel, it’s loyalty or silence Israel’s persecution of Palestinian actor and filmmaker Mohammad Bakri reflects its desire to censor stories of the occupation while appearing democratic.

The Palestinian filmmaker Mohammad Bakri, who directed the documentary “Jenin, Jenin”, has passed away aged 72.

Read Suha Arraf’s piece from 2021 on how Israel stifles Palestinian filmmakers like Bakri, and how they continue to resist through their art.

BDS WIN! In the last two weeks, $26.7 million have been divested from Israel bonds, and will no longer serve as unrestricted loans to the Israeli military and government.

Israel allowing exists from Gaza but no reentry is ethnic cleansing & history repeating. It’s the script of the Nakba — massacre people & then leave them with the awful decision between their children’s lives & their land and then lie that those who chose the former voluntarily departed.

So sick.

Israel Is Quietly Expanding Its Occupation of Gaza Under Cover of “Ceasefire” For us here in Gaza, this “ceasefire” is a fiction. The bombing has continued as Israel moves its Yellow Line.

Alphabets on the Sand In Gaza, language is insufficient to describe the magnitude of our loss, but I write anyway.

"In each interval of calm, I feel time slowing down—as if the world outside Gaza moves forward while we remain stuck inside the same unfinished sentence trapped between survival and meaning."
