i've spent a large chunk of my time over the last few months reading about palestine and trying to get my own head around the ongoing genocide there. it's an immense privilege to have the time to just sit and read, especially when the information that's easiest to find is so biased in favor of imperial interests, and while talking with friends irl about it, i wished i had a way to drop some of the articles that i found most helpful and illuminating into their hands. so i decided to make a reading list.
in the interest of making this as accessible as possible, i've included the word count of each article, and the links shoullllllld hopefully remove any paywalls. this is a personal list; it isn't comprehensive or striving for any kind of neutrality or perfect objectivity. all of these articles are working from a lefty, anti-colonialist, pro-human rights perspective. i'll keep updating this page, and hopefully someday soon i'll be able to update it with good news about a free palestine.
