What Does A Real Ceasefire Look Like?

Just recently, an “Israeli” airstrike wiped out an entire family that was already displaced and seeking shelter despite a ceasefire. Citing “security reasons,” the Zionist Entity continues to restrict aid and humanitarian groups into the Strip — including Doctors without Borders and Defense for Children International — which has been consistent with its broader “dietary” policy of limiting the calories needed to the minimum to prevent mass starvation. The “Israeli” Navy recently shot and killed a fisherman off the coast of Gaza for going beyond the six-nautical mile restriction, which fishermen often have to go beyond to adequately fish and support their families.

Israel Trains ICE Agents

In the months preceding Good’s death, ICE agents had opened fire on people at least nine times across multiple states, killing at least four other individuals during deportation operations. Masked ICE squads have been snatching people off the streets, kicking down doors in morning raids, and devastating neighborhoods. How did we get here? How did an American agency come to behave like an occupying army? Follow the trail to ‘Tel Aviv’ and Jerusalem. For decades, U.S. law enforcement, including local police, federal agents, and ICE officers, have been training directly with the Zionist army. In fact, internal documents obtained by activists show that “well over a thousand” U.S. police chiefs, sheriffs and federal agents (from the FBI, DHS, and ICE) have flown to ‘Israel’ for training in surveillance, racial profiling, crowd control, detention, and deportation.

Who Is The Board of Peace?

Who Is The Board of Peace?

After two years of genocide by the Zionist war machine, the very architects and enablers of these war crimes now have the audacity to pose as ‘peacemakers’. The American empire, chief patron of ‘Israel’s’ brutal campaign, dares to propose a so-called “Board of Peace” to rule Gaza in the genocide’s aftermath.

It was U.S. weapons, money, and diplomatic cover that enabled ‘Israel’s’ bloody campaign. The American empire stood by, vetoing ceasefires and arming the occupation, as Gaza was turned into scorched earth. Now, under the guise of a ‘so-called’ ceasefire, in which Zionist forces have continued their genocidal campaign, the U.S. wants to “manage” what they helped destroy.

Should We Separate Islam & Palestine?

Should We Separate Islam & Palestine?

In the Qur’an, Allah describes the Night Journey of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from Mecca to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (the Farthest Mosque).

In that miraculous event, the Prophet also ascended to the heavens (Al-Miʿrāj) from the site of Al-Aqsa, forever binding Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) to Islam.

Every Muslim has a share in the responsibility toward this holy site. Scholars across the Muslim world affirm that defending and safeguarding Al-Aqsa is a collective obligation of Muslims. In other words, caring about Palestine’s holy sites and people is part of our Islamic belief and duty, inseparable from our worship and identity as Muslims.

Should We Support Zohran Mamdani?

Should We Support Zohran Mamdani?

As a Palestinian Muslim led movement, we view this moment through our faith. Islam teaches us both to celebrate good and to hold one another accountable. This is a balance rooted in the Sunnah. The Prophet (SAW) taught that “the best type of jihad is speaking a true word in the presence of a tyrant ruler.”

In the spirit of praising what is praiseworthy, we celebrate Mamdani’s achievement over Cuomo and recognize the virtues he may bring to City Hall. He is, by many accounts, a principled community organizer-turned-politician whose focus has been serving the people. He also refused to bow to coercive pro-Israel ultimatums, even rejecting the political ritual of proving loyalty through a trip to ‘Israel’.

Where’s The 3rd Intifada?

Where’s The 3rd Intifada?

The First Intifada was characterized by mass protests, general strikes, and boycotts. This wave of resistance continued for six years until the signing of the Oslo Accords, which began in September 1993 and introduced the prospect of Palestinian statehood. This raises the question of a Third Intifada. While the last phase of escalated genocide against the Gaza Strip has provoked millions around the world to educate themselves, mobilize, and stand in solidarity with Palestinians and the people of Gaza, the same scale and intensity of unified resistance across the Palestinian territories is noticeably absent in the current day context as compared to the First and Second Intifadas.

How ICE Targets Migrants

How ICE Targets Migrants

After 9/11, the U.S. transformed immigration into a “national security” project—building ICE into a machinery of raids, surveillance, detention, and deportation. This piece traces how that system targets racialized communities and mirrors the same logic of control and dispossession perfected under Zionist occupation in Palestine—then ends with a clear call to action for solidarity and dismantling.

What’s Next for the West Bank?

What’s Next for the West Bank?

The Zionist entity enforces systemic violence and apartheid upon all Palestinians of the West Bank. It regularly restricts Palestinians' freedom of movement through hundreds of military checkpoints, where Palestinians are routinely stopped, searched, and harassed by occupation forces. Zionist soldiers and settlers are also known to regularly shoot and murder children in the West Bank, and for their violence against farmers during the olive tree harvest. Zionist violence is not just targeted at the Palestinian people, but even the land and the trees are burned and bulldozed.

What’s Happening in Sudan?

The genocidal Rapid Support Forces (RSF), armed and funded by the UAE, have invaded and massacred thousands in El-Fasher, Sudan, continuing a colonial war that has displaced over 12 million Sudanese people. As Palestinians face genocide in Gaza, the parallel violence in Sudan exposes the deadly alliance between Zionism and neocolonial Arab regimes.

The Jordan ‘Israel’ Peace Deal

The Jordan ‘Israel’ Peace Deal

The Wadi ʻAraba Treaty, often referred to as a milestone for "peace," represents a profound betrayal of the Palestinian people and their quest for liberation. While it formalized diplomatic relations between Jordan and “Israel,” established agreements on land borders, and outlined resource allocations, it fundamentally served the interests of elites over the rights and aspirations of Palestinians. This so-called peace framework laid the groundwork for increased cooperation in trade, tourism, and security with a settler-colonial entity intent on perpetuating its occupation.

Zionist Ecocide in Palestine

This Earth Day, uncover how Zionist settler colonialism in Palestine has led to ongoing ecocide in Gaza and the West Bank. Our in-depth op-ed exposes the environmental destruction of Palestinian land—burned olive groves, poisoned water, bulldozed farmland—and connects it to global patterns of imperialist environmental violence in Sudan and Congo. Read now to understand how ecocide is a tool of genocide and why environmental justice must include Palestinian liberation.

Life Beneath the Zionist Carceral State

On Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, we examine the daily machinery of control that governs life in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem—checkpoints, raids, arrests, and a prison system designed to crush Palestinian resistance. From children prosecuted in military courts to detainees held for years without charge, this piece exposes the inner workings of “Israel’s” carceral regime and the stories of those who endure it. Read how imprisonment functions not as a response to crime—but as a tool of colonization.

Trump is Anti-Palestine

Trump is Anti-Palestine

Donald Trump’s latest proposal to forcibly remove over 2 million Palestinians from Gaza and hand the land over for development as a so-called “Riviera of the Middle East” is nothing short of ethnic cleansing in broad daylight. This is not just another racist outburst from an imperialist leader—it is a calculated continuation of Western colonialism’s violent grip on Palestine.

Trump’s vision, which includes pushing Palestinians into Egypt and Jordan against their will, is a direct violation of international law and a blatant attempt to erase Palestinian existence. The same Western empire that armed and funded the Israeli occupation now seeks to redefine the terms of Palestinian genocide, repackaging forced displacement as “development.” This is settler-colonial logic in action—stealing land, erasing indigenous people, and replacing them with a Zionist project that serves the interests of the West.

Make no mistake: this is not about peace or economic prosperity. This is the same imperialist, Zionist-backed agenda that Trump pushed throughout his presidency—from the illegal Abraham Accords, which normalized occupation, to his endorsement of illegal settlement expansion, to his total disregard for Palestinian sovereignty and humanity. The world must call this what it is—an attempted genocide.

Palestinians will not be forcibly removed from their land. Gaza is not for sale. Our people will resist, as they have for over 75 years, because Palestine belongs to Palestinians—not to Western colonizers, not to Zionist settlers, and certainly not to Donald Trump.

Never Trust A Zionist Ceasefire

Never Trust A Zionist Ceasefire

After 15 months of brutal genocide, the Zionist enemy accepted the same ceasefire terms that Hamas proposed 8 months ago, with nothing to show for it. None of the goals of the “Israeli” regime were accomplished. Netanyahu was forced to concede to the deal because he suffered a humiliating loss.

“Israel” failed to secure the return of all hostages or dismantle Hamas both as a political party and a military regime. The notion of eradicating Hamas proved to be futile because it is not just a group but an enduring idea that cannot be killed. Contrary to their objectives, resistance has gained the support of people worldwide.

Gaza's True Death Toll
PDM, Article, Gaza, Documenting Genocide Palestine Diaspora Movement PDM, Article, Gaza, Documenting Genocide Palestine Diaspora Movement

Gaza's True Death Toll

The true scale of destruction in Gaza is heavily underreported because of challenges of recovering bodies from the rubble due to the lack of adequate machinery. This situation means that the ‘official’ death tolls fail to reflect those who are still missing, whose fates remain unknown in the chaos. Despite these significant obstacles, the Gaza Ministry of Health remains committed to accurate reporting, only confirming deaths when a body is recovered. Another concerning trend in media coverage is the framing of casualty statistics as "women and children," which intentionally sidelines Palestinian men as victims of a genocide.
