Palestine recognition is great. Now it's time for action.

The two-state solution is on life support. Israel's genocide in Gaza and its relentless building of settlements in the West Bank are actively destroying the viability of a Palestinian state.

Christine Otten on telling the stories of the marginalised

The Dutch novelist is famous for capturing the rhythm and style of the poets who became the forefathers of hip-hop, but her work has also brought civil rights leaders and refugees to life

Butterfly effect: can the Palestine protest movement turn the tide?

For nearly two years, protests around the world calling for an end to Israel's war on Gaza haven't fizzled out, but grown. Their geographic reach and longevity appear to have no precedent in history.
