• Jerusalem: When Society Rises Against Colonial Catastrophe

  28 April 2021, by Assafir Al-Arabi, Majd Kayyal

  Al-Quds* has been at the receiving end of the most intense and fastest colonial encroachment ever seen in Palestine, its people left to their own devices, stripped of any support, backing, or a vision to put up against the Zionist enterprise.

• On B’Tselem’s Apartheid

  15 February 2021, by As-Safir Al-Arabi, Majd Kayyal

  The change of position of the Israeli organisation "B’Tselem", which now refers to the regime in the areas under Israeli control as "apartheid", has triggered many debates on the reasons for this change of position and its reception at the international level. They are in fact explained by the influence of Israeli, American and European political interests on the work and motivations of human rights institutions.

• The Right to Inheritance and to Return, Keys to Peace in Palestine

  25 August 2020, by Ilan Pappe, Orient XXI, Tamar Yaron, Uri Davis

  To fight this kind of "peace", a decolonial and decolonizing sense of peace is found in the love and rage of those who come together to make visible the war that has been perpetuated by profoundly misguided conceptions of law and order. To be in peace is to move with others against modern/colonial law and order, including its institutional, symbolic, and epistemological foundations.

• Anti-Zionism is a rejection of racism and imperialism, not just criticism of Israel

  5 March 2019, by Eyad Kishawi, Liliana Cordova-Kaczerginski, Max Ajl

  The Intercoll Working Group Palestine publishes two successive texts on the issue of the zionism question, which seems crucial to us to understand the situation in Palestine.

  This second text, written by three anti-imperialist militants who act in different countries, immediately places zionism in the colonial and imperialist field.
