"For Palestinians, a return to the conditions prior to October 7 is unthinkable. This past year has been one of the bloodiest in Palestinian history, with a death toll surpassing even that of the Nakba. The devastation we have endured will irrevocably shape our politics, intellectual frameworks, and approaches to resistance. It will also transform how we relate to each other and envision our collective path forward. Any meaningful discourse on Palestinian liberation must now center the reality of the ongoing genocide." Article by Tareq Baconi of Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network

Giving Tuesday Is Here—Your Support Matters Now Dear All, Today is #GivingTuesday—a day when millions worldwide come together to make an impact through radical generosity. Over the past 14 months, we’ve been moved by your unwavering support for Palestinian liberation. In response to the urgent needs in Gaza, Al-Shabaka paused public fundraising for as long as possible. Throughout 2024, we relied on the steadfast generosity of our most dedicated donors and foundations. But sustaining our critical work depends on the broader support of our community. DONATE NOW This year, we refocused our efforts to ensure that Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network remains a vital resource for those in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. We challenged the pillars of support for the colonial regime and its destructive forces by critiquing Zionism, anti-Palestinian racism, and disinformation. And we situated the current moment within a century-long history of settler colonial expansion and ethnic cleansing.  Yet, as the fight for Palestinian liberation intensifies, so do the forces trying to suppress it. In the US, lawsuits and legislation targeting organizations like ours are growing more aggressive and unlikely to stop in 2025. Your support today ensures that Al-Shabaka can continue to rise to these challenges. In 2025, your gift will help us: - Create spaces for Palestinians to build leadership and consensus. - Amplify member-driven analysis to inform the movement for liberation. - Strengthen efforts to decolonize policymaking and envision a liberated future. Your donation sustains Al-Shabaka as a knowledge base for the movement, ensuring we can continue to publish critical work that empowers solidarity worldwide. Donate today and join us in driving the movement forward in 2025 and beyond. https://lnkd.in/d5Jx_HzS With gratitude, The Al-Shabaka Team

✍ NEW policy memo! Israel’s withholding of Palestinian clearance revenues is a longstanding practice, historically used to punish or manipulate the Palestinian Authority (PA). Since October 2023, the Israeli regime has only escalated its theft of Palestinian funds, bringing the PA to the verge of financial collapse. Ismat Quzmar argues that Israel’s weaponization of clearance revenues is not merely an extension of past measures but a reflection of a new, more radical agenda driven by the far-right.
