Weekly Data Report: A Genocide Continues
The Genocide Continues Some of the worst effects of Israel’s genocide have yet to materialize fully: mass starvation, widespread disease, and long-term psychological effects. The impact of this manufactured atrocity will never be captured in numbers, nor will it ever be truly illustrated through individual stories, because the vast majority of people will never have…

Demolition Report | Ethnic cleansing in the West Bank
Israel’s blanket bombing of densely populated areas in Gaza has destroyed over 65,000 homes and has forced over 1.7 million Gazans into tents during the cold, rainy months. There is little left of Gaza. And while all eyes are on the ongoing genocide inside the Gaza Strip, it’s critical to remember that Israel’s program of…

Weekly Report: Indigenous erasure
While some of the data points are trending slightly downwards, that by no means suggests that a break in the genocide, nor anything like justice is on the horizon.

66 days of a genocide
Today is the 66th day of Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinians in Gaza. There are too many horrors to translate, both in Gaza itself and throughout Palestine. If you take one message from this newsletter, it should be that we desperately need you to take whatever action you can to call for a ceasefire…

Anti-Zionism as Decolonisation
As horrifying scenes from Gaza have been recorded, published, and replayed around the world, people have been jolted into action and have thrown themselves into solidarity work. This surge of activism is fuelled by visceral reactions to the harrowing realities of Israel’s ongoing genocide unfolding on the global stage. People are realising, by the thousands,…

Deplatformed
We need you moving forward Dear friends, Like other Palestinian organizations in Palestine, we, too, have been the target of zionist campaigns. Yesterday, we were informed by our donation platform, Square Payments, that we could no longer use their services. Settler organizations here have long targeted the Good Shepherd Collective because of our call to…

❗Update on Gaza❗
Here are some sobering facts about Israel’s ongoing genocide and what appears to be a strategy to push Palestinians from the north to the south in a tiny little ethnic enclave to exterminate. As Israel has now dropped some 25,000 tons of explosives — the equivalent of 2 atomic bombs — Israel and its supporters…
