Truthout
Struggle and Solidarity: Writing Toward Palestinian Liberation
We can't look away from settler-colonial violence against Palestinians -- or the growing movement for a free Palestine.
Series Introduction
In the wake of the Israel/Palestine “ceasefire” and subsequent unseating of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, mainstream attention quickly drifted away from the region, yet again. At Truthout, we are committed to not looking away. We will continue to cover the struggle for Palestinian liberation in all its forms, from protests within Palestine to international solidarity efforts and intersections with other movements. We’ll also delve into the context and history of Israel’s settler-colonial violence, and possibilities for a liberated future built on foundations of equity and justice. In this series, you’ll find several older pieces from our archive, contextualizing these movements, as well as an ongoing chronicle of the unfolding struggle.
