Despite Our Justified Skepticism

Dec 16, 2024 | thisweekinpalestine.com | Diana Buttu

Each morning, I am afraid of hearing that one of my friends or students has been killed during these bloody days. My students come from different parts of the Gaza Strip (Rafah, Khan Younis and the northern area), and I pray that they all are safe with their families. Our message is peace and freedom for the people of Palestine. We will continue to rebuild the destroyed homes and lives of thousands of people on this land. This is the only hope we have. And these are the architects of tomorrow.
My Israeli Neighbors Are Rejoicing: Trump Will Make Israel Great(er)

Nov 27, 2024 | zeteo.com | Diana Buttu

In major Israeli cities, including Haifa, where I live, “Trump/Vance 2024” campaign signs have been quickly replaced by signs congratulating Donald Trump on his election victory. “Make Israel Great,” reads one sign. “Now is the Time For Sovereignty,” reads another (referring to Israeli annexation of the West Bank), with an image of the Star of David over the occupied West Bank and a picture of Trump. Israeli support for Trump is not new, of course.
A Year of Living Among Genocide Apologists

Oct 12, 2024 | zeteo.com | Diana Buttu

Paid subscribers can now listen to Diana’s essay in her own words through the ‘listen to post’ button above. One year. I cannot believe that it has been one year. One year of witnessing Palestinians try to retrieve mangled bodies from the sites of Israeli bombs – whether they be homes, hospitals, schools, universities, mosques, or even tents. One year of seeing children scream in fear, in physical pain, in emotional pain, knowing that the world is and always will be cruel.

Opinion: Israel has killed more than 41,000 people in Gaza. Biden can end this massacre. As we mark one year since Hamas and other armed groups' deadly attack on Israel and Israel's devastating military campaign in Gaza, the Middle East is teetering on the brink of a major conflagration.

Israel Forced Him to Become a 'Human Shield'

Sep 6, 2024 | zeteo.com | Diana Buttu

They used his body for cover. I spoke to Waleed*, a Palestinian from northern Gaza, less than six months after he forcibly became a human shield – not by Hamas, as Israel likes to claim, but by Israeli soldiers themselves. It was March, and Waleed, after previously evacuating his wife and young son to Rafah, had taken shelter in Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City – the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip.
Rioting for the Right to Rape Palestinians

Jul 31, 2024 | zeteo.com | Diana Buttu

“Half of the Israeli public is no longer in favor of the war,” one friend told me Saturday night as we witnessed thousands of Israelis take to the streets to protest the Israeli government under the slogan, “Elections Now.” “Yes, but the other half is all-in, and REALLY in favor,” responded his wife. “And they are the more powerful group.”She, of course, is right.
