Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

#OTD in 1917, the Albanian writer/dissident Musine Kokalari was born. One of my most rewarding research projects looked at the 1946 trial of this strong, imaginative, and brave human being. Despite the regime’s best efforts, she kept on writing. Happy Birthday Musine Kokalari @teutas.bsky.social

NEW: A study by Yale University and other institutions has found that the Gaza war death toll is likely 41% HIGHER than Palestinian health officials reported. It also found that over 59% of those killed were women, children and people over the age of 65. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Gaza war toll likely significantly undercounts deaths, says study

An official Palestinian tally of direct deaths in the Israel-Hamas war likely undercounted the number of casualties by 41% through the middle of 2024 as the Gaza Strip's healthcare infrastructure unravelled, according to the study.

What shatters our hearts is not just the Israeli massacres, the genocide tearing through our lives—it is the quiet, insidious ache of being made to feel invisible, unworthy, less than human. It’s the unspoken weight of knowing that, to the world, our suffering is a faint whisper, not a scream.

No words. For all the devastation Gaza has faced, North Gaza is a completely other level. I've always been hesitant to ever compare things directly to the Holocaust, but everything I'm hearing reminds me of the stories my family had passed down as well as what Jews have learned about our past.

Israeli occupation forces continue ethnically cleansing the north. Today, they attacked a school in the Jabalia refugee camp and forced people out of it. Then they lined them up and shot anyone who dared to move. Any male over the age of 16 is being detained, tortured, and investigated. Many people who are being lined up are sick individuals, such as amputees, cancer patients, and young kids who are being asked to stand in line for hours. The situation is catastrophic.

As tensions in the Western Balkans continue to rise, this 2005 review has new resonance. Kosovo’s quest for recognition of its independence, most importantly by Serbia, is still viewed with suspicion in the EU. The persisting colonial gaze may explain why. kosovotwopointzero.com/en/who-gets-...
