We have come together as Palestinian academics and staff of Gaza universities to affirm our existence, the existence of our colleagues and our students, and the insistence on our future, in the face of all current attempts to erase us.

The Israeli occupation forces have demolished our buildings but our universities live on. We reaffirm our collective determination to remain on our land and to resume teaching, study, and research in Gaza, at our own Palestinian universities, at the earliest opportunity.

Thought from the tent

Mahmoud Abdel Majeed Assaf. Gaza, 28/5/24

In the tent, I feel worse than ever. I have no objections or approvals, no choice of path. 

Everything blurs into nothingness; there’s no difference between stopping and continuing.

I endure the day, longing for night’s return.

Israeli President Inscribed a Message on a Bomb Due to be Dropped Over Civilians in Gaza

Background:

“It is an entire nation out there that is responsible,” Herzog said at a press conference on Friday. “It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true. They could have risen up. They could have fought against that evil regime which took over Gaza in a coup d’etat.”

Palestine’s Unrelenting Pursuit of Justice

Background:
Despite the countess massacres on Palestinians by the Israeli occupation, the ICC hasn’t been able to investigate these crimes nor sanction Israeli war criminals. The USA and Western countries were behind ICC’s inactions.


Palestine, oh land of beauty,
Occupied by powers mighty,
Once by Britain, now by Israel,
Apartheid state, says Amnesty's call.

Innocent lives lost to settler's hand,
Unpunished by courts of the land,
Homes destroyed as punishment cruel,
Human rights ignored as a rule.

Gaza's people imprisoned en masse,
Their rights and freedoms trampled like grass,
Racist laws against Palestinians in place,
Pride of the right-wing, a disgrace.

Oh Palestine, your beauty endures,
Despite the pain and suffering you've endured,
May justice and peace one day prevail,
And your people's spirits never fail.
