Realign For Palestine

Food airdrops in Gaza now! Time is running out for hundreds of thousands of Gaza’s civilians who are experiencing extreme malnutrition, inadequate access to food, and in numerous instances, outright starvation. The UN is concerned that without a ceasefire, it is too dangerous to…

Hundreds of courageous civilians in Gaza took to the streets in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, to protest Hamas, attack the group’s slogans, demand the war's end, decry the terror group's negotiating team in Qatar, demand an end to starvation & ask Hamas to stop the bloodshed. Yes,…

Dignity for Palestinians doesn’t come from broadcasting suffering. It doesn't come from glorifying resistance that leads nowhere and exploits Palestinian pain. True liberation requires something far harder than outrage. It requires agency: building systems that serve the people…

Most people think Hamas and Gaza have always been intertwined. But that’s only been true since 2007. Hamas didn’t come out of nowhere. They rose from decades of occupation, political collapse, foreign influence, and a power vacuum. They filled a gap - but at a heavy cost.…

So many stories about this conflict are told about the people who live it - not by them. We’ve become used to recycled narratives that reduce everything to sides: good guys and bad guys, reductive slogans, tired, contrived scripts. It’s comforting. Familiar. But it’s not the…

Many Palestinians envision a Palestine that is not built on grievance, but on dignity. One of our Voices, Ghassan Hammad, envisions a Palestine that is “just, prosperous, and is at peace with its neighbors.” Many Palestinians refuse to be reduced to victims or pawns and…

After joining the 2019 anti-Hamas protests in Gaza, @HowidyHamza was arrested, jailed, and beaten. But he was willing to endure it because he thought he had accomplished something. But on release, he learned that the global media took no notice. It was all for nothing.

In this article for the Jewish Journal, Berlin-based Holocaust researcher Dr. Verena Buser discusses the rise of a problematic new “activist-academic” trend within Holocaust, genocide, and antisemitism studies that focuses only on critiques of Israel while marginalizing…

Gazan, Jaser AbuMousa reflected on the hypocrisy of Iran’s support for Palestine. Gaza has endured 21 months of war, with over 56,000 Palestinians killed - over a year and a half of Iran pressuring Hamas to reject a ceasefire with Israel. And yet, after just 12 days of direct…

Right now, there are many brave Israelis and Palestinians who reject a binary outlook on the conflict. Who are choosing a different path, determined to move past the cycle of hatred, incitement, revenge, and retribution. Who are asking pointed questions about the future and about…

Holocaust Inversion Must End Palestinian-American peace activist Jadd Hashem says that Palestinians don’t need to distort Jewish trauma to make people care about Gaza. Holocaust inversion - the trend of comparing Israel to Nazi Germany or equating the war in Gaza to the…

“Moving away from the resistance narrative towards the coexistence narrative can usher in a new era of nation-building, led by the Palestinian people, so that Gaza is not merely reconstructed, but transformed,” says RFP’s Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib (@afalkhatib) to Boston’s @wbur…

The Stories You’re Not Seeing… When it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the media often amplifies the loudest, most extreme voices. But there’s another side - quieter, deeper, harder to package in headlines. These are the stories that don’t trend. But they matter. One…

“Instead of channeling our anger into violence, I believe that we Palestinians must look to a brighter future - one that values reconciliation over revenge, and hope over dismay.” Jadd Hashem is the Palestinian-American Vice President of Atidna International and also the…

President Trump said that Israel agreed to conditions to finalize a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, during which the parties will work to end the war. Egypt & Qatar will deliver the final proposal to Hamas. Unclear is what happens during the 60 days as far as hostages & IDF withdrawal.

Israelis and Palestinians both carry deep pain, complex histories, and legitimate claims. And yet, instead of listening, every platform has turned into a battlefield. Every comment is a grenade. Every post is a dig. All in desperation to justify our allegiances, to show that one…

According to the latest OCHA assessment, 82.6% of Gaza is now effectively uninhabitable — either designated as an Israeli military zone, placed under forced evacuation, or both. 🟣 *Military zones* require coordination for even the most basic humanitarian work. 🔴 *Evacuation…
