‘We come from the land, give our love and labor to her, and she nurtures us in return. When we die, we return to the land. In a way, she owns us. Palestine owns us and we belong to her.’

-Susan Abulhawa - Mornings in Jenin

Dear Friend,

For over 400 days, the Palestinian people have endured Israel’s genocidal war, which seeks to dispossess them of their homeland and erase them as a people.

This genocidal assault is part of a decades-long colonialist and imperialist strategy of ethnic cleansing, apartheid, violent occupation and oppression, perpetrated by the zionist entity and armed and supported by Western powers.

On this year’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People we stand with them as they endure what author Susan Abulhawa has called ‘the holocaust of our time’. For the people of Palestine to live is to resist, and with each day they live and resist, they are a day closer to a liberated Palestine.

Our reading list spotlights a collection of articles, reports, and videos that we’ve published over the past 418 days of struggle.

Eqbal Ahmad and the liberation of Palestine

By TNI associate Arun Kundnani

For Iqbal Ahmed, armed resistance, like in Palestine, must serve revolutionary politics, not random violence. He rejected strict violence/nonviolence binaries, urging strategic flexibility to mobilize allies. Unlike moral critiques of Hamas, Ahmed viewed political violence as a calculated tool for liberation, not an isolated or alienating act.

The false equivalence of the colonized and colonizer

By Hamza Hamouchene

Choosing to focus on denouncing Palestinian violence is akin to asking them to passively accept their fate—to die quietly and not resist.

Pipeline to genocide

BP’s oil route to Israel

Over the past 10 months, we have witnessed the most televised genocide in history, as Israeli forces raze Gaza's infrastructure, from schools to hospitals. But these weapons of destruction don't appear spontaneously; they are powered by global energy supply chains. Understanding these connections reveals how energy corporations fuel the machinery of war, serving as the lifeblood of imperialist agendas.

Tracing gas flows sustaining the settler occupation of Palestine

A missile attack on an Israeli gas platform and Hezbollah's drone strike highlight the growing vulnerability of Israel’s energy infrastructure amid its military expansion. With gas supplies crucial to Israel and its allies, the rising tensions signal broader geopolitical risks. Palestinian campaigners push for a global energy embargo to challenge this reliance.
