French historian Jean-Pierre Filiu has visited Gaza many times — but he had to make his most recent visit in December in secret. Defying Israel’s attempt to control reporting, his latest book is a devastating account of the destruction of Gazan society.

Nicolas Grospierre’s photographs of collective farm buildings in Israel and the Baltic states reveal these communities’ utopian dreams — and their uncomfortable colonial underpinnings.

In the West Bank, the Israeli army has banned Palestinian farmers from reaching their land and groups of settlers are burning farmers’ crops. Jacobin spoke to olive growers about Israel’s draconian moves to destroy their livelihoods.

A powerful group of Palestinian capitalists are profiting off occupation.

In 1975, Indonesian dictator Suharto occupied East Timor. Despite the West’s support for Suharto, the people of East Timor won their independence 24 years later — and their struggle may be a precedent for Palestinian liberation today.

Mahmoud Khalil, who has been detained and targeted for deportation by the Trump administration for speaking out about the atrocities in Gaza, dictated a letter to the public from his detention cell in Louisiana. Jacobin publishes the letter here in full.

As Israel destroyed Gaza’s universities, German academic leaders condemned students who protested against it. Now, as Israel invades Rafah, they’re stepping up their repressive effort — using police to make sure US-style campus occupations never take root.

On Sunday, Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri published a Jacobin op-ed about the harassment he has suffered at the hands of Israeli authorities. On Monday morning, they raided his home and jailed him.

A year into the genocide in Gaza, we are closer than ever to an all-out regional war. Western governments’ support for the Israeli war machine and indifference to human life has endangered us all.

Today’s young American student protesters see the destruction of heritage, the obliteration of knowledge, and the assault on institutions of learning in Gaza as connected to assaults on their own education.

The United Auto Workers’ Brandon Mancilla explains why his union has continued to oppose the genocide in Gaza, why slaughter abroad is tied to workers’ decline in living standards at home, and the union’s pushback to Donald Trump’s war on higher education.

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.

The South African house track “Jerusalema” has rocketed around the world, becoming a viral sensation. But it’s no common pop song — it speaks to a growing desire across Africa to remake and reimagine the world.

The rivalry between Fatah and Hamas has dominated Palestinian politics since the 1990s. Yet for many years, the main challenge to Fatah came from the groups of the Palestinian left, which have made a huge contribution to the national movement.

BDS opponents are wrong — boycotts are well within the bounds of academic conduct.

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.
