Through our digital awareness posts, we seek to shed light on issues concerning the broader Arab world and, specifically, Palestine. In this latest newsletter for 2023, we showcase our publications released between November and December 2023, coinciding with the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Amidst a time when Gaza exposed the double standards of international humanitarian organizations and unveiled the silence of officials in the wake of a horrifying genocide, the voices of truth persisted.

This is why we plant and will persist in planting; each tree represents hope, firmly rooting our people to the land. |
