Dear Friends of This Week in Palestine,
Come rain, come shine; come war, come peace, we march on in our mission to promote and document Palestine. We do our best to overcome the hurdles and obstacles – some minor, some major – but this is part of running any project. Particularly one that has continued uninterruptedly for twenty-six and a half years. Our passion comes from our love of Palestine and from the belief that the gross injustice that has been inflicted upon the Palestinians will one day be rectified, and that Palestinians will be vindicated and will exercise their right to live independently like the other peoples of the world.
The current June issue of This Week in Palestine themed Palestinian Refugees II is a sequel to the May issue that carried the same theme. As I wrote last month, the topic deserves greater scrutiny during the ongoing genocide. We would like to thank again Dr. Norma Masriyyeh Hazboun, an associate professor at Bethlehem and Birzeit Universities, for her advice and invaluable consultation on the content, and all the authors who have contributed articles that have enriched this edition. Similar to the May issue, the June issue acknowledges five personalities who have contributed greatly to making known the reality of Palestinian refugees. In this issue, we acknowledge Ghada Karmi, Avi Shlaim, Nur Masalha, Edward Said, and Ilan Pappé.
I’m proud to announce that the June 2025 issue of This Week in Palestine, themed Palestinian Refugees II, is now accessible online at www.thisweekinpalestine.com.
Forthcoming themes
- July 2025: Steadfast Under Adversity: Palestine’s Pride List (bronze sponsor: Palestine Investment Fund)
- August 2025: Palestine’s International Pride List
