What makes a house haunted in Palestine? Is it the ghosts that linger - or is it something far more sinister? Our Cut of Salt is about a haunted house in Palestine and the 3 generations of women who must discover the answer to this question for themselves. Preorder now:

Gaza saw its first major rainfall of the season today. Within minutes, people were submerged and tents holding families and children flooded. This is slow death. There is no justification for why proper shelter that can withstand the elements is not being allowed in.

What does recognition of a Palestinian state mean when the material reality remains the same? Palestinians in Gaza are still suffering through a genocide; Palestinians in the West Bank are still under siege. Recognition is an empty gesture in the face of actual change
