مرصد شيرين هو جهد تطوعي بحت من صحفيين زملاء للشهيدة الصحفية شيرين أبو عاقلة، بهدف استكمال عملها الذي قدمت حياتها في سبيله في توثيق وفضح جرائم الاحتلال الاسرائيلي بحق الشعب الفلسطيني، ونقل الحقائق حول ما يجري في فلسطين للعالم، ولتصل رسالة الصحفيين الفلسطينيين للاحتلال بأن قتل شرين لم ولن يوقف الصوت الفلسطيني أو يمنعه أن يصل للعالم، وأن اسم شيرين سيبقى حياً في قلوب الفلسطينيين.

The goal of The Memorial is to collect the names of the martyrs in the voices of the world, so pronounce them as best you can but most of all just be yourself.

Despite Facebook's well documented censorship of anti-Zionists, people use Instagram and similar sites because the most people are there. This is very understandable, but if we don't see people's posts because they are banned or shadowbanned, the number of people there hardly matters.

Why the Egyptian authorities suppress protests supportive of Palestine

اعتقالات واسعة في صفوف النشطاء والطلاب في مصر بعد انطلاق حرب غزة، وسط قمع أمني متزايد لتضييق أي تحرك داعم لفلسطين أو احتجاج على الأزمة الاقتصادية.

The Palestinian Museum Digital Archive was launched to collect various documents including identification papers, official records, letters, diaries, manuscripts, maps, photographs, films, and audio recordings that were under threat of loss, damage, or confiscation. Such items were digitized and made widely available on a website open for users inside Palestine and abroad in Arabic and English, to shed light on the different aspects of Palestinian life, history, and legacy. A visitor can browse the Archive through exploring the different collections offered by hundreds of Palestinians to be safely saved for future generations. One can also navigate the website through topics that summarize many aspects of Palestinian life such as culture & arts, resistance & struggle, displacement & diaspora, social & organizational movement, everyday life, education & extracurricular activities, women, and others.

It’s funny how a lot of people viewed me as a rigorous journalist on every other topic. And when it came to this, all of a sudden there was this disbelief in my method of research. There was this suspicion that all of a sudden it wasn’t rigorous. I think that really, really speaks to the very, very, very deeply entrenched biases that exist around this subject.

"The US plan for a temporary pier in Gaza to increase the flow of humanitarian aid is a glaring distraction from the real problem: Israel’s indiscriminate and disproportionate military campaign and punishing siege. The food, water, and medical supplies so desperately needed by people in Gaza are sitting just across the border. Israel needs to facilitate rather than block the flow of supplies. This is not a logistics problem; it is a political problem. Rather than look to the US military to build a work-around, the US should insist on immediate humanitarian access using the roads and entry points that already exist.

Christopher Lock, the organization's representative, discusses the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where over one million people are trapped and living in fear of a ground invasion.

He shares a personal account of a recent attack on an MSF-marked building housing MSF staff and their families, resulting in fatalities and injuries. The speaker condemns the pattern of attacks against humanitarian workers and infrastructure, such as hospitals, which is either intentional or indicative of reckless incompetence.

The situation in Gaza has led to the systematic destruction of a health system that Doctors Without Borders have supported for decades. The humanitarian response is inadequate, with limited space, medicine, food, water, and safety available.

Lock urges the UN Security Council to take effective action to address the conflict in Gaza, adopt a …

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed and some 700 others wounded after Israeli troops opened fire on hundreds waiting for food aid southwest of Gaza City, health officials say, as the besieged enclave faces an unprecedented hunger crisis.

...

People had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.

“We went to get flour. The Israeli army shot at us. There are many martyrs on the ground and until this moment we are withdrawing them. There is no first aid,” said one witness.

The Palestinians, facing down the most powerful countries in the world, left virtually alone even by their allies, have suffered immeasurably. But they have won this war. They, their journalists, their doctors, their rescue teams their poets, academics, spokespeople, and even their children have conducted themselves with a courage and dignity that has inspired the rest of the world. The young generation in the western world, particularly the new generation of young Jewish people in the US, have seen through the brainwashing and propaganda and have recognised apartheid and genocide for what it is. The governments of the most powerful countries in the western world have lost their dignity, and any respect they might have had.

Not the first complicity in genocide. People should just stop using Meta.

Palestinian and pro-Palestinian voices have been censored and suppressed across Meta’s platforms. This latest wave of censorship, which coincides with “apocalyptic” violence in the Gaza Strip and stark warnings of genocide from the UN and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), adds to Meta’s long history of systematically censoring Palestine-related content. While the company has stated that it’s never their “intention to suppress a particular community or point of view,” our documentation points to the opposite conclusion. This pattern of censorship is no glitch.

In this report, we show how Meta is systematically silencing the voices of both Palestinians and those advocating for Palestinians’ rights. We delve into the roots of this censorship …

• Deliberate targeting and extrajudicial killing of Palestinian women and children in places where they sought refuge, or while fleeing.
• Arbitrary detention of hundreds of Palestinian women and girls, including human rights defenders, journalists and humanitarian workers, in Gaza and the West Bank since 7 October.
• Multiple forms of sexual assault, such as being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers.
• At least two female Palestinian detainees were reportedly raped
• Others were reportedly threatened with rape and sexual violence
• Children being separated from their parents, whose whereabouts remain unknown

Zagout gained a dedicated following on Instagram from all around the world. Viewers responded to her vibrant paintings of cityscapes and portraits that documented aspects of Palestinian culture; I wrote and illustrated this comic to honor Heba and her art. As a Palestinian artist myself, I wanted to offer a fraction of her life and what her work meant to the people of the world.

But in working on this comic, the only thought running through my mind was: How can anyone possibly capture the scale and severity of this destruction, this dehumanization? With every minute, more and more Palestinian martyrs become statistics. I recalled the words of the writer Khalil in Gaza (@khalilo1 …

Twitter/X has launched a massive purge against large accounts that have posted in support of Palestine. The purge has taken well-known activists, bloggers, podcasts, journalists such as Alan Mcleod, and even some from critical mainstream outlets like the Intercept’s Ken Klippenstein and Steven Zetti of the Texas Observer.

This is another reminder of why open and community owned platforms must be the backbone of social media.

The Israeli army is not only starving Palestinians in the northern Gaza Valley, but has also killed dozens of individuals who tried to receive the meagre aid that did arrive there, perpetuating the genocide that Israel has been committing against the people of the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Frustration that he’s not actually here to respond to the very obvious censorship that is afoot in all of the major dailies in the United States. Said could have broken through and found a hearing, at a moment when so many more people around the world are seeing for the first time what the Zionist project really is in practice.”

there can be no way of satisfactorily conducting a life whose main concern is to prevent the past from recurring.

In many instances, there is an unmistakable coincidence between the experiences of Arab Palestinians at the hands of Zionism and the experiences of those black, yellow, and brown people who were described as inferior and subhuman by nineteenth-century imperialists.

I cannot understand how raw, naked evidence can …

It seems clear that even countries that are more or less at peace with Israel, whether formally (Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates) or informally (Saudi Arabia) have their hair on fire about the proposed Rafah operation.

Although American newspapers depict Egypt as broke, desperate and easily manipulated, my own estimation is that Cairo absolutely will not accept the Palestinians of Gaza as refugees on its soil. The Sinai is already a security problem for Cairo, and 2 million radicalized Palestinians would make it ungovernable. No amount of debt forgiveness would make such a bitter pill go down.

Israel killed 11,500 kids in few months. Video to visualize what this looks like.
