Not only do Israel’s universities help to develop weapons used against Palestinians, they also legitimize the actions of a nation that has become an international pariah. They deserve to be boycotted.

Donald Trump told the world that his administration would end the censoriousness of “woke” liberal culture. His time in office has seen one of the worst crackdowns on free speech in recent American history.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has missed its first deadline for annexing part of the West Bank, but this Trump-backed scheme for land theft is still firmly on the table. The goal of Netanyahu and his US sponsors is simple: they want to liquidate Palestinian national aspirations.

Today marks 50 years since Israeli agents murdered Ghassan Kanafani in Beirut. Their terrorist attack silenced the Palestinian writer — but failed to extinguish his people’s spirit of resistance.

A Chicago Teachers Union member explains why his union voted overwhelmingly to demand a cease-fire in Israel’s war on Gaza — and why teachers must stand up for children everywhere.

Israel has effectively made the establishment of a separate Palestinian state impossible. It’s clear what’s needed now: a single, democratic state with full rights for all people.

Israel’s recent bloody attack on Jenin is the latest in a long-standing attempt to pacify a Palestinian town that refuses to bow to Israeli occupation and apartheid.

Colombia was the biggest coal exporter to Israel — but last Saturday, president Gustavo Petro announced he would cut off the supply. The Colombian mobilization against the genocide in Gaza has shown the world how to put material pressure on Israel.

Overshadowed by its relationship with the US, Israel has also long enjoyed fruitful ties with China, now its second-largest trading partner — including a military-tech exchange that has helped the Chinese state repress its own population.

Israeli violence isn’t senseless — it follows a colonial logic.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman has always been staunchly pro-Israel, but the events of the last few months have shined a particularly harsh light on his indifference to Palestinians.

Earlier this month, 19 Brown University students completed an eight-day hunger strike demanding the school divest from companies profiting from human rights abuses in Palestine. We talked to three of the hunger strikers about the protest.

German right-wing tabloid Bild ran a smear campaign against civil servant Melanie Schweizer because of her solidarity with Palestine — and then she was fired. She told Jacobin what her case says about the reality of free speech in Germany.

Nathan Thrall, author of a new book on the Israel/Palestine conflict, on the logic behind recent developments in the region.

Turkey and Israel have long called on their ally Britain to crack down on solidarity groups that threaten their imperial domination. Keir Starmer’s government is increasingly playing along.

Joe Biden has launched yet another US war in the Middle East with his air strikes on Yemen. The bombing campaign won’t stop attacks on Red Sea shipping — but an end to Israel’s war on Gaza will.

In Australia, the political, media, and arts establishment is weaponizing accusations of antisemitism to silence critics of Israel’s war on Gaza. It’s tantamount to blackmail, and the goal is to delegitimize solidarity with Palestine.

In 1973, Arab-American workers in Detroit auto plants walked off the job in protest of the UAW’s investment in bonds from the state of Israel. The incident is little-remembered today, but it shows how workers can organize against racism and colonialism — including against the labor movement’s investment in the Israeli occupation of Palestine today.

Hunter College’s announced hiring for a Palestinian studies professor led New York governor Kathy Hochul to order the listing’s removal for “hateful rhetoric” like “settler colonialism.” By that logic, Zionist Jewish texts themselves would be banned.
