Israeli Occupation: The Serial Child Killer 

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Admin

Israeli forces, a lethal might,
Claim innocence, but hearts ignite.
Palestinian children, young and fair,
Facing death with a silent prayer.

Human Rights Watch, with eyes keen,
Investigates a grievous scene.
Mahmoud al-Sadi, a youth so young,
Struck down, his song unsung.

Wadea Abu Ramuz, a tale untold,
A night of chaos, in silence unfold.
Adam Ayyad, a stone’s throw,
Fell in Deheisheh, a river of woe.

Excessive force, a decades-old stain,
Palestinian lives in shadows remain.
Apartheid’s grip, a heinous crime,
Children suffer in this tragic clime.

Media Complicity in Gaza’s Struggle

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Admin

Background:
Many of the US and western media have been reluctant to use the word genocide in relation to Israel’s onslaught on Gazans. Since 7/10/23 they have been downplaying Israeli crimes against Palestinians, and signalling to Israel that it can continue its atrocities with impunity, and reassuring the Bidene’s administration that it won’t be held to account for its complicity.

Beneath Palestine’s relentless strain,
Genocide’s truth, a scholar’s refrain.
Raz Segal’s words cut through the haze,
Media hesitates, obscures the gaze.

Journalistic games, a veiled charade,
Bothsidesism masks the raid.
Prism’s insight cracks the veneer,
Complicity’s echo, it’s time to clear:

In courts and protests, voices rise,
Seeking justice beneath troubled skies.
Accountability sought, a fervent plea,
For Gaza’s truth, unshackled, to be.

“Human Animals” Since 1948

Posted on March 22, 2026 by Admin

The Jewish soldiers who took part in Al-Dawayima massacre in 1948 reported horrific scenes: babies whose skulls were cracked open, women raped or burned alive in houses and men stabbed to death.
Victims: 455 innocent people including 170 kids.

Natan Alterman wrote a poem about the Al-Dawayima massacre: 

On a jeep he crossed the street
A young man, Prince of Beasts
An old couple cowered to the wall
And with his angelic smile he called:
”The submachine I will try”, and he did
Spreading the old man’s blood on the lid.

Why is the Israeli Occupation Deliberately Targeting Palestinian Students?

Posted on March 22, 2026 by Admin

Approximately 66,000 Palestinian students returned to Israeli universities on December 31 after a delayed academic year due to the Gaza war. However, they encounter a hostile environment, with continuous incitement against Arab and Palestinian citizens. A poll by the Joint Coalition of Student Blocs reveals deep mistrust, as 76% distrust university administrations, and over 87% feel their security is compromised. Palestinian students face suspension, police investigations, and arrests for expressing their views. Academic institutions, including the University of Haifa, are accused of cooperating with authorities. Adalah, a legal NGO promoting Palestinian rights in Israel, has reported 251 cases of arrests, investigations, and interrogations of students, with social media posts and demonstrations being key triggers. Despite historical obstacles, the number of Palestinian students in Israeli institutions surpassed 60,000 in 2021, constituting 19% of the total student population.

Handala: A Palestinian National Symbol

Posted on March 19, 2026 by Admin


Handala is a character which was created in 1969 by political cartoonist Naji Al-Ali, and first took its current form in 1973. Handala became the signature of Naji al-Ali’s cartoons and remains an iconic symbol of Palestinian identity and defiance and depicts the complexities of the plight of Palestinian refugees. These cartoons are still relevant today and Handala, the refugee child who is present in every cartoon, remains a potent symbol of the struggle of the Palestinian people for justice and self-determination.

Naji Al-Ali wrote: “Handala was born ten years old, and he will always be ten years old. I presented him to the poor and named him Handala as a symbol of bitterness.

To read more about Handala and Naji’s work , please follow the link: http://www.handala.org/handala/

Don’t miss out on the release of new series of ‘In Handala’s Playground’ in the next few days!

Israel must be held accountable for it’s genocides against the Palestinians

Posted on March 18, 2026 by Admin 
Beneath Gaza's shattered sky so stark,
Israel's might, a force in the dark.
Civilians yearn for safety's spark,
Yet accountability takes a hesitant embark.

Can Israel be held to account?
A question in the tumult, a mounting fount.
Can accountability mend what's broken,
As the world watches, words unspoken?

Barbara Schriener’s Visit to Occupied Palestine

Posted on March 18, 2026 by Admin

I spent Christmas in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ. It should have been a happy, colourful celebration, attended by people from all over the world. But Bethlehem is besieged.

To enter, we climb down from our comfortable bus and carry our suitcases past a massive steel barrier which lies across the road, under the watchful guns of young Israeli soldiers peering at us from a fortified watchtower. On either side of the barrier Palestinians wait to pick up their loved ones. No cars are allowed through. Everyone crosses on foot. A man wanting to get through by car to pick up his ill father is met with threats of ‘I’ll shoot you’ from an Israeli soldier.
