- The Organised Suppression of Kurdish Journalists in Iran
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2015
It has been nearly 120 years since the first Kurdish newspaper, 'Kordestan' was published – a publication which did not in come into existence here in Kurdistan, but in exile in Egypt, its later life being in Europe. In 1909, 'Kordestan' was banned from publishing by the Ottoman Empire. Despite the ban being placed over a century ago, with its founders and journalists having been arrested and prosecuted, it seems that even today the fate of Kurdish journalism is intertwined with that of 'Kordestan'.
- Sacrificing Gaza: The Great March of Zionist Hypocrisy
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2018
The Great March of Return is a startling, powerful expression of Palestinian identity and resistance. Thousands of Palestinians have come out, bravely and unapologetically, to say: “We refuse to remain invisible. We reject any attempt to assign us to the discard pile of history. We will exercise our fundamental right to go home.” They have done this unarmed, in the face of Israel’s use of deadly armed force against targets (children, press, medics) deliberately chosen to demonstrate the Jewish state’s unapologetic determination to force them back into submissive exile by any means necessary. By doing this repeatedly over the last few weeks, these incredibly brave men, women, and children have done more than decades of essays and books to strip the aura of virtue from Zionism that’s befogged Western liberals’ eyes for 70 years.
