The infographic “Anti-Palestinian Racism” outlines its definition, manifestations, impact, and global occurrence. It features three diverse figures and uses a red, beige, and brown palette. Here is the full text: ANTI-PALESTINIAN RACISM NAKBA DENIAL Denying Palestinian history or rejecting the rights of Palestinian refugees. DEHUMANIZATION Erasing the human rights and equal dignity of Palestinians. FAILING TO ACKNOWLEDGE Palestinians as an Indigenous people with a collective Palestinian identity, belonging, and rights. EXCLUDING Excluding or pressuring others to exclude Palestinians or expressions of solidarity with Palestinians. VIOLENCE OR JUSTIFICATION OF VIOLENCE Violence or justification of violence against Palestinians. DENYING, DISTORTING, OR SILENCING Palestinian narratives. What Is It? A form of racism that silences, excludes, erases, stereotypes, dehumanizes, or defames Palestinians or Palestinian narratives. Anti-Palestinian racism is distinct from Islamophobia. Who Is Affected? Palestinians, those perceived to be Palestinian, and non-Palestinians who support Palestinian rights, of multiple religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. Since many people who experience anti-Palestinian racism (APR) are not Muslim, addressing APR under Islamophobia excludes a significant number of those impacted, noting that all forms of anti-racist efforts can co-exist. Where Does It Occur? Anti-Palestinian racism is rooted in the systemic oppression Palestinians experience as a colonized people under Israeli rule, but it occurs globally, especially in countries that support the Israeli government to advance their own imperial interests. What Are Its Effects? Anti-Palestinian racism can cause physical, mental, and emotional harm to both those who experience it and those who witness it. Ultimately, it functions to justify and uphold systems of oppression, whether their manifestations are implicit or overt. Visualizing Palestine Sources bit.ly/vp-apr | NOV 2024
The image is a statement from Doctors Against Genocide (DAG), marked by their logo—a circular orange emblem with the organization’s name. The statement addresses the humanitarian crisis affecting children in conflict zones, published on November 20, 2024, for International Children’s Day. Below is the exact text from the image: Doctors Against Genocide Statement on International Children’s Day: WORLD LEADERS HAVE TURNED THE WORLD INTO A GRAVEYARD FOR CHILDREN November 20, 2024 On this International Children’s Day, Doctors Against Genocide (DAG) calls on healthcare professionals, institutions, and global citizens to join our “Not Another Child, Not Another Hospital” campaign. The ongoing slaughter in Palestine, Lebanon, and Sudan demands immediate global action. A Graveyard for Children: The Systematic Crime of Pedicide Over 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza and Lebanon in the past year. UNICEF has declared Gaza a “graveyard for children” and the UN has described Israel’s deliberate bombings as a “war on children.” These atrocities go beyond tragic casualties—they constitute pedicide, the deliberate targeting and systematic destruction of children, their family units, and their futures as a tool of warfare. The relentless genocide in Gaza has forged a harrowing reality: the largest cohort of pediatric amputees in history. Women are forced to deliver infants without anesthesia, bringing them into a world UNICEF chillingly describes as “being born into hell.” Over 135,000 children under two teeter on the brink of severe malnutrition, while countless others languish in makeshift shelters, deprived of safe water and sufficient food. With winter fast approaching, these dire conditions will become even more catastrophic.
The image features an inspirational quote by Lilla Watson surrounded by artistic line drawings of two women and white birds. The quote is displayed in the center of the image inside a pale circular background, which contrasts with the surrounding muted yellow color. It reads: “If you have come here to help me, you’re wasting your time. If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” On the left, a line drawing of a woman wearing a hijab and a headpiece made of intricate flowers is depicted, with delicate facial features and flowing lines. On the right, another line drawing portrays a woman with long hair adorned with leaves and flowers, her face calm and reflective. White birds in flight are scattered across the image, adding a sense of freedom and movement. The overall tone is soft and empowering, emphasizing unity and collaboration.
The picture shows a stack of three books next to a tiny globe. The book on top is The Message, and the title of the other books are not fully revealed. The other books are The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine and and Between the World and Me.
