As Israelis vote today, analysts warn that a change in government is unlikely to bring a change in policy toward Palestinians. At an @imeupolicy briefing earlier this month, @dianabuttu, Tamir Sorek, & @AssalRad challenged Western media’s focus on Netanyahu, arguing the deeper issue is a political system built on occupation and exclusion, one that leaves Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza without a vote and has sidelined Palestinians who hold Israeli citizenship.
Whatever the result, Palestinians will remain outside the ballot box and at the center of its consequences.

🧵Between 1831 and 1834, Ibrahim Pasha, son of Egypt’s ruler Muhammad Ali, led the Egyptian army in an invasion of Palestine, taking control of much of the region from the Ottoman Empire: palquest.org/en/overallchron…
The capture of Acre required a six-month siege and paved the way for the Egyptian occupation of much of the Levant, or Greater Syria. A centralized government based in Damascus was established, while the Egyptian authorities sought to disarm the population and restrict local autonomy and the power of traditional elites. 🧵

Earlier this month, researcher and journalist Sophia Goodfriend was denied entry to Israel after border police questioned her over tweets she published during the genocide.
Five other journalists have also been denied entry in the last two weeks, with some visas getting revoked only hours before flights.
In 2023, Goodfriend published a piece with the Journal of Palestine Studies about how youths in Jerusalem used social media to draw unprecedented attention to settler violence in the historic city, despite Israel’s intrusive monitoring and surveillance.

In this poem, Mariam Mohammed Khateeb, fleeing the genocide to Japan, reflects on encountering other Palestinians from colonized historic Palestine and the absurdity of settler-colonial displacement and fragmentation.
Khateeb reflects on travel and memory, and on the concept of home, describing how places remain alive in human consciousness long after their destruction and regardless of physical distance.

🧵Palestine was transformed not only through colonization and dispossession, but also through efforts to reshape how the land was imagined, mapped, and represented: palquest.org/en/highlight/33…
From the late nineteenth century, the Zionist movement developed narratives portraying Palestine as a neglected land awaiting redemption, accompanied by efforts including tree planting, mapmaking, and archaeological excavation to construct a vision of the land as an ancient Hebrew space.🧵
This #PalQuest Highlight traces these processes alongside the emergence of Palestinian national consciousness and resistance, from the late Ottoman period through the Nakba and into the present: palquest.org/en/highlight/33…
