The First Intifada Oct 14, 2024

It wasn't just a movement. It wasn't just a demonstration. It was an uprising. The First Intifada was a six-year "shaking off" of the conditions of occupation--a revolutionary period in which the homeland was transformed into the primary front for confronting Zionism, and every Palestinian was transformed into a resistor of occupation.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Movement Jul 22, 2024

PRISONERS ARE THE COMPASS OF OUR STRUGGLE. In the third episode of Popular Cradle, Yara, Rhiannon, and Mohammed delve into the history of the Palestinian prisoners' movement, and how Palestinian prisoners made the occupation prison a site of revolutionary struggle. From the tactics used by prisoners to resist the repression and cruelty imposed on them, to the prisoner exchanges negotiated outside prison walls, to the leadership of Palestinian prisoners in Palestinian politics broadly, our prisoners are invaluable, unbreakable contributors to--and models of--the struggle for national liberation.
