Celebrating Jewishness
- My podcast Disillusioned - Israeli activists against the occupation telling their personal stories of how they unlearned Zionism.
- Salman Abu Sitta - a researcher who has created the most extensive, concrete plan (at least as far as I know) for Palestinian refugee return to Palestine.
- De-Colonizer - a research and art laboratory for experimenting and creating tools aimed at enabling those who live/who want to live in Palestine/Israel to share it.
- Zochrot - an NGO that has been working since 2002 for exposing and disseminating historical information about the Palestinian Nakba in Hebrew (all translated to Arabic & English as well), with a view to promote accountability for the Nakba among the Jewish pubic of Israel and the implementation of the Right of Return of Palestinian refugees.
- * I highly recommend following them on IG and/or Twitter.
- Yaffa Streets - a project I'm part of, which aims to emphasize the historic Arab street names in the public space, alongside the current street names, as a symbolic gesture of recognition and correction of history. Follow us on IG :)
- The Yaffa Documents: Justice in Practice: Return to the Jaffa-Tel Aviv Area - a project facilitated by Zochrot, where Palestinian and Jewish residents of Yaffa created a plan
- BADIL - a resource center for palestinian residency and refugee rights and an independent, human rights non-profit organization committed to defend and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons.

- Judith Butler speaks on why law is enforced
- You Resemble Me — it’s an Egyptian film by Dina Amer if you can catch it, very interesting POV on defender vs terrorist and the Arab experience across spaces.
- Lila Abu-Lughod talks about resistance as a diagnostic of power
- the Palestinian artists Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme have a really great work called “and yet my mask is powerful” thats discusses Palestinian connections to land and seeing vegetation as an archive of resistance if anyone is interested
