49th Land Day
Land Day marks March 30, 1976, when Palestinians rose up in mass strike and protest against the Zionist seizure of thousands of dunams of land in the Galilee. Six Palestinians were martyred because they refused to accept land theft. That day exposed the truth that Zionism was never just an occupation of 1967. It was always a settler colonial project built on the erasure of an Indigenous people from their own homeland. In Islam, the land is an amanah, a trust from Allah. To defend it is not only political. It is a moral obligation against oppression and a refusal to betray the generations who came before us.
Al Aqsa Is Calling Us!
Al-Aqsa is a Holy Mosque in Jerusalem, situated in the Al-Haram Ash-Sharif. This mosque is the 3rd holiest site in Islam. This is where the Prophet SAW ascended to Heaven. Verse no.1, chapter 17 of the Holy Quran highlights the blessings that have been brought on the areas surrounding Masjid Al- Aqsa. Before the Qibla, the direction in which Muslims pray was established towards the Kaaba; the Muslims faced Al-Aqsa for their Qibla. One prayer in this mosque also equals 500 prayers. This area is clearly a place of great divine importance and, hence, a unifying point for Muslims all around the world. It is one of the reasons that Muslims have a strong affinity for Palestine, not only because of the atrocities committed against the Palestinians, but also because their beloved Holy Mosque also stands there.
Posting Fancy Iftars While Gaza Starves?
In the wake of the U.S.-“Israel” attack on Iran, the Zionist entity has taken advantage of diverted attention from Gaza in order to once again reinstate a total and complete siege on Gaza, shutting down all crossings — including Rafah — indefinitely. Less than a third of the aid trucks scheduled to enter Gaza each day have been allowed to enter over the past several months, preventing the people of Gaza from accessing basic necessities. Families have been surviving on minimal calories and children, especially, have been facing severe malnutrition. Now that number will be absolutely none, which places Gaza at risk of returning to a state of severe famine.
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.
Christmas in Palestine
Christmas in the birthplace of Sayyidina Isa, peace be upon him, is being suffocated by Zionist occupation and genocide. This piece reflects on Palestinian Christian life under attack, Muslim Christian coexistence in Palestine, and how faith remains a root of resistance and steadfastness.
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.
Why Do Zionists Want Al-Quds?
Reject Normalization
Normalization, in the context of Palestine, refers to the process by which relationships, activities, and agreements are established with the Zionist settler-colonial state of Israel without addressing its occupation, oppression, and violations of Palestinian rights. This term includes normalization via diplomatic agreements, economic partnerships, cultural exchanges, and even rhetorical frameworks that equate the experiences of the occupier with the occupied.
What is Al Thawabet?
Al Thawabet, meaning "constants," are the core, uncompromising principles of the Palestinian liberation struggle. These red lines, established by the Palestinian National Council in 1968, represent the demands on which there can be no sacrifice. They have been upheld for decades as the foundation of Palestinian resistance and national identity.
October 7th and Beyond
On October 7th, Hamas's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was initiated with the dual purpose of liberating Palestinians who are unjustly imprisoned by the “Israeli” Zionist regime and amplifying the Palestinian cause on a global stage.
