True solidarity is based on people power and must, above all, be accountable to Palestinians……..Palestinian liberation and an end to the genocide in Gaza will require the continuation and escalation of this solidarity across the globe.

Egypt Has Leverage Against Israel. Why Doesn’t Sisi Use It?
Rhetorical solidarity isn’t enough. Egypt can use its leverage to help stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The mother of Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, Dr. Laila Soueif, has been on hunger strike since September 30 when authorities failed to release Alaa despite the completion of his prison term.
Folks in DC will join her in solidarity by selecting a 24-hr period between December 2 and 7.

How Arab autocrats enabled Israel's Gaza genocide
Defeating the Arab democracy movement left autocratic states hollowed out and often reliant on US and Israeli support to survive. Palestinians cannot expect help anytime soon
