This is certainly not an exhaustive list, but these are substack writers who I have learned a lot about Palestine from. I highly recommend all of them.
by Lara ElbornoAnalysis and commentary on current events related to the Palestinian struggle for freedom. The aim is two-fold: First, I want to avoid Instagram being the only space in the public record where my writings are preserved—given the censorship and previous and ongoing access issues with my account. My writings are also often too long for Instagram. Font gets tiny. My message increasingly needs a different medium. Second, substantively, this space is intended to complement the work we are doing on social media and the Palestine Pod by offering a more formal (but not too formal; this is not a law review) space for witnessing and documenting.
I do believe as a Palestinian my experiences are worth sharing. My identity forced me to become hyper politicized at a young age, forcing me to understand that the plight of the Palestinians is not just for Palestinians.
The liberation of Palestine connects to the struggles of all oppressed people facing the consequences of colonization and the military industrial complex. I want to shed light on these connections.
I’m dedicating what I know about Palestine for as long as I need to in the next few weeks due to the immense misinformation or lack of information that’s happening right now. Many of you, I’ve noticed, don’t really know a lot about the history, and so I’ve decided to share everything that I know and have been thinking about and processing in the last few days. Truthfully, I’m garnering a lot of hate right now, but if you trust my work, and trust me as a researcher and a journalist who writes with integrity to the truth, then please keep reading. My attempt here is to educate and to give people a foundational explanation of what’s going on, and what to do next.

These past weeks have reaffirmed my belief that for every devastation, there is repair–somewhere, waiting to be claimed. I’m cautious of naïve optimism, and equally cautious of romanticizing the fervor of the present moment because there are people quite literally being massacred as I write this. There is nothing to celebrate about death as a catalyst. There is, however, something to be honored about a tide that is turning. A tide that will continue to turn until we are all enveloped in its transformation.
