Amid a wave of protests on American university campuses against U.S. backing for Israel, a group of Yale students went on hunger strike.

One of them wrote about the rationale behind the radical move for New Lines. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/a-ya…

Breaking | Students in Paris took over a building on the campus of Elite Paris University, launching a major protest in solidarity with Palestine following pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campuses across the U.S.

A message from a refugee camp in Rafah to the student camps in the US:

On Wednesday, I am scheduled to give the 2024 Mamie Phipps Clark and Kenneth B. Clark Distinguished Lecture at Columbia University. In light of the university’s current repression and criminalization of students, as well as the present academic boycott of the institution, I have…

For The Nation, I spoke to three members of the Palestinian Youth Movement who helped translate Wissam Rafeedie’s The Trinity of Fundamentals.

We spoke on the work of collective translation, of bridging the diaspora, and what the novel can offer us now.

“Why is the same university that capitalizes on the legacy of Edward Said & enshrines The Wretched of the Earth into its Core Curriculum so scared to speak about decolonization in practice?”

In the spring of 1968, hundreds of Columbia University students infamously took over campus buildings in support of the swelling civil rights and anti-war movements of the era. That uprising resulted in the school severing ties with the Institute for Defense Analyses. Now this 🙄

Breaking news: Palestinian professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian has been arrested for 'suspicion of incitement.' Jerusalem's Hebrew University suspended her last month after she said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. She told Democracy Now! her personal safety was at risk.

The day after Ilhan Omar questioned Columbia leadership's commitment to free academic expression, the school suspended her daughter? It's clear what is happening here.

Our educational institutions should not be in the business of political reprisals.

'It is not only unrealistic and foolish to expect celebrities to use their platforms, but it is dangerous to put so much emphasis on their public support. The question shouldn’t be, 'Where is DJ Khaled?' It should be: 'Do Palestinians really need him?'' newlinesmag.com/spotlight/dj-k…

Invited to address a conference in Berlin about my work in Gaza hospitals during the present conflict.
The German government has forcibly prevented me from entering the country
Silencing a witness to genocide before the ICJ adds to Germany's complicity in the ongoing massacre.

The biggest problem is not Western journalists being unable to enter, but the fact that Western media doesn't respect and value Palestinian journalists. My colleagues and I risk our lives every day to report on this genocide . No one knows Gaza like we do, and no one understands…

First demonstration in Israel of the 'Movement for Settlement in South Lebanon'

I wrote about the untold story of Arab Jews — and how they formed a solidarity movement with Palestinians, producing joint magazines, street protests, and a vision for peace.

Good read - Palestinian-American artist DJ Khaled has remained silent as the war in Gaza has unfolded. His story is a cautionary tale of the limits of celebrity solidarity at a time when it may no longer be needed, writes Maysa Mustafa for New Lines Magazine. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/dj-k…

Unsurprisingly Maysa Mustafa's DJ Khaled essay is still No1 New Lines Magazine. A brilliant pairing of author and subject: both from the same Palestinian village, both in US media, both with alliterative full names. Shame only one can pronounce 'baklava'... newlinesmag.com/spotlight/dj-k…

With a heavy heart, I share that a family member of mine, Noor, passed away today at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza

She was five years old and the hospital lacked electricity to help get her the medical attention she needed

It was impossible to transfer her to another hospital 💔

This is an interesting article about DJ Khaled by Maysa Mustafa. I don’t generally want to hear from celebrities about political issues but there has been something strange about him in recent months given his usual public embrace of his identity: newlinesmag.com/spotlight/dj-k…
