Failed Experiment: Three Reasons Why Israel Fears a Major War on Gaza

Strangers Behind the Trees: On the Death of Rayan Suliman and His Fear of Monsters
Children of my Gaza refugee camp were rarely afraid of monsters but of Israeli soldiers. This is all that we talked about before going to bed. Unlike imaginary monsters in the closet or under the bed, Israeli soldiers are real, and they could show up any minute – at the door, on the roof or, as was often the case, right in the middle of the house.

The Limits of Israeli Intelligence: Does Israel Have a Yahya Sinwar Problem?

If Israel continues to subjugate the Palestinian people under the current system of military occupation and deepening apartheid, Palestinians will surely continue to respond until their oppressive reality is changed.
The Billion Dollar Deal that Made Google and Amazon Partners in the Israeli Occupation of Palestine

The US Money Tree: The Untold Story of American Aid to Israel
Judging by its legacy of continued support of the Israeli military machine and the ongoing colonial expansion in the West Bank, Washington insists on serving as Israel’s main benefactor – if not a direct partner – while shunning Palestinians altogether.
