How will al-Sharaa and other HTS government appointees reconcile their Islamist roots with the rights of Syria’s many minority groups? How can democratic institutions be built to prevent a return to authoritarian rule? How will the new government handle state records, including human rights violations and corruption? What economic reforms are needed to support reconstruction and the needs of the Syrian people? How will the new government address other armed groups and the autonomous Kurdish forces and prevent renewed conflict? What mechanisms will ensure transitional justice for Syrians? How will the new government deal with external interventions and presence including from Turkey, Russia, Iran, and Israel?

She received a PhD in Sociology from the University of Washington and previously held positions at the Carlos III – Juan March Institute and Chapman University. Across her work, she pursues three lines of inquiry: how interests and values are institutionalized, what catalyzes institutional change, and how this change happens. She is currently working on a book about how medieval German cities responded to political challenges with antisemitic violence and exclusion.<br> <br> Jordan Berg Powers (he/him) is currently a PhD Student at Brandeis University Heller School Institute of Economic and Racial Equity. He is the former Executive Director of Mass Alliance, where he was for 13 years. As a broad coalition of 29 political and advocacy organizations with different sizes, organizational structures, and focus issues, Jordan knitted together these disparate groups to build a powerful, cohesive table dedicated to making Massachusetts more just. Jordan also serves as a Zoning Board Commissioner for the City of Worcester. He is also on the board of JOIN for Justice, Disability Policy Consortium, Partners in Democracy, Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action (JALSA), Committee for Social Action for the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC), Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) – Boston Area, Teen Just-Us, and the Jewish Liberation Fund; he is also on the advisory committee for the RAC Massachusetts.

Much of his recent research has interrogated how and why various American legal regimes, including equal protection doctrine, function to reinforce and reproduce racial hierarchy. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in the California Law Review, Northwestern University Law Review, Utah Law Review, and Temple Law Review. Representative publications include “SFFA v. Harvard: How Affirmative Action Myths Mask White Bonus,”“Hidden in Plain Sight: a More Compelling Case for Diversity,”“Eyes Wide Open: What Social Science Can Tell Us About the Supreme Court’s Use of Social Science” (with Evelyn Carter), and “Defusing Implicit Bias” (with Karen Lorang).

It is a story that erases much of the nuance of Jewish religious tradition and warps our understanding of Israel and Palestine. After Gaza, where Jewish texts, history, and language have been deployed to justify mass slaughter and starvation, Beinart argues, Jews must tell a new story. After this war, whose horror will echo for generations, they must do nothing less than offer a new answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Jew?<br> <br> Beinart imagines an alternate narrative, which would draw on other nations’ efforts at moral reconstruction and a different reading of Jewish tradition.

Join the PYM at our Community Iftar for Gaza to support the steadfastness of our people and critical rebuilding efforts. <br> <br> Throughout the course of its 15 month genocidal war, Israel destroyed one half of all of Gaza’s hospitals and destroyed or badly damaged nearly 70 percent of all buildings. It is estimated that 83 percent of mosques in Gaza were partially or completely destroyed while 88 percent of schools suffered severe damages. Recovering from these losses and rebuilding Gaza will be a long and arduous process that we have a political responsibility to support. <br> <br> Ramadan is a time of giving; all of the proceeds of this iftar will go to the Middle East Children’s Alliance, a leading charity providing direct services, support for community projects, and clean water infrastructure all over the Gaza strip. The iftar will feature political speakers, an auction, and a raffle.<br> <br> Tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/GazalftarNYC (link in bio).<br> <br> 🗓️Sunday, March 9th<br> 🕒Doors open 5:30 pm, programming until Maghreb<br> 📍Widdi Hall, 5602 6th Ave, Bay Ridge

يسرّ مركز حملة – المركز العربي لتطوير الإعلام الاجتماعي الإعلان عن فتح باب تقديم المقترحات لتنظيم جلسات وورش عمل في منتدى فلسطين للنشاط الرقمي 2025، الذي سيعقد يومي 20 و21 مايو 2025.<br> <br> يحمل المنتدى لهذا العام عنوان "اتّصال مقطوع: تأثير الحرب على الوصول إلى الإنترنت والحقوق الرقميّة الفلسطينية". في ظل الدمار المتواصل في غزة وسط الإبادة الجماعية الوحشية، سيركّز المنتدى على التأثيرات المدمّرة للحرب على الحقوق الرقمية. ستتم مناقشة قضايا محورية تشمل تدمير البنية التحتية للاتصالات، وتقييد الوصول إلى المعلومات، وممارسات الرقابة، وإسكات الأصوات الفلسطينية. وفي خضم هذه الأزمة الإنسانية المتصاعدة، أصبحت حماية الحقوق الرقمية، بما في ذلك الحق في الوصول إلى الإنترنت، وحرية التعبير، والحق في الحصول على المعلومات، ضرورة لا غنى عنها.<br> <br> يُعترف بشكلٍ متزايد بأن الوصول إلى الإنترنت هو حقٌ أساسي من حقوق الإنسان، إذ يُعتبر عنصرًا جوهريًا لممارسة حقوق أخرى مثل تبادل المعرفة، والتواصل الاجتماعي، والتنظيم السياسي، والمشاركة الاقتصادية. ومع ذلك، في غزة، أدى تدمير البنية التحتية للاتصالات إلى عزل المدنيين عن العالم الخارجي، ما حال دون قدرتهم على التواصل أو الوصول إلى معلوماتٍ حيوية أو توثيق الانتهاكات وجرائم الحرب التي يتعرضون لها. تم تدمير أكثر من 75% من شبكات الهواتف المحمولة في غزة، في حين تعرّضت شبكات الألياف الضوئية لأضرارٍ جسيمة، مما ترك جزءًا بسيطًا منها قيد التشغيل. هذا الانقطاع ألحق أضرارًا فادحة، شملت عرقلة الاستجابة الطارئة، وحجب الأخبار المهمة، وزيادة الضغوط النفسية على أولئك الذين انقطعوا عن أحبائهم أو خدمات الإنقاذ.<br> <br> في ذات الوقت، يواجه الفلسطينيون تصاعدًا مقلقًا في الرقابة والإقصاء الرقمي من قبل المنصات الإلكترونية الكبرى. مع تصاعد وتيرة الحرب، قامت هذه المنصات بإسكات الصحفيين الفلسطينيين والمواطنين والمؤسسات الإعلامية التي توثق الانتهاكات بشكل مباشر، مما أدى إلى قمع الشهادات المهمة وعرقلة فهم العالم للأزمة الإنسانية. كما زادت سياسات الإشراف على المحتوى من تهميش هذه الأصوات، مما فاقم عزل الفلسطينيين وانتهاك حقوقهم الرقمية. كما تضرّرت الفرص الاقتصادية التي تعتمد على المنصات الرقمية بشكلٍ كبير، حيث أدت القيود المالية والإقصاء الرقمي إلى منع التبرعات وقطع شرايين الحياة عن العائلات المعتمدة على المساعدات.<br> <br> سيتيح منتدى فلسطين للنشاط الرقمي 2025 مساحة حيوية لمناقشة هذه القضايا الحرجة وتسليط الضوء على الدور الأساسي للحقوق الرقمية في تعزيز الصمود، والعدالة، والكرامة الإنسانية. من خلال ورش العمل والجلسات وحلقات النقاش، يهدف المنتدى إلى تزويد النشطاء والمنظمات والممارسين بالأدوات اللازمة للدفاع عن الحريات الرقمية، وإعادة بناء البنية التحتية، ومحاسبة الشركات على قمع المحتوى والإقصاء الرقمي. كما تؤكد النقاشات على أهمية الحقوق الرقمية في توثيق الانتهاكات، وتضخيم أصوات المهمشين، وربط المجتمعات في أوقات الأزمات.<br> <br> دعونا نتكاتف للدفاع عن الحقوق الرقمية الفلسطينية، وإعادة التأكيد على أن الاتصال هو حق إنساني أساسي، خاصة في أوقات الإبادة والقمع المنهجي.<br> <br> ندعوكم لتقديم مقترحاتكم عبر النموذج في الرابط لتالي قبل 16.02.2025.<br> <br> سيقوم مركز حملة بدراسة المقترحات والتواصل مع الباحثين والمتقدمين الذين يتم قبول مقترحاتهم.<br> <br> لأي استفسارات، يرجى الكتابة إلى عنوان البريد الإلكتروني التالي: Forum@7amleh.org<br>

يسرّ مركز حملة – المركز العربي لتطوير الإعلام الاجتماعي الإعلان عن فتح باب تقديم المقترحات لتنظيم جلسات وورش عمل في منتدى فلسطين للنشاط الرقمي 2025، الذي سيعقد يومي 20 و21 مايو 2025.<br> <br> يحمل المنتدى لهذا العام عنوان "اتّصال مقطوع: تأثير الحرب على الوصول إلى الإنترنت والحقوق الرقميّة الفلسطينية". في ظل الدمار المتواصل في غزة وسط الإبادة الجماعية الوحشية، سيركّز المنتدى على التأثيرات المدمّرة للحرب على الحقوق الرقمية. ستتم مناقشة قضايا محورية تشمل تدمير البنية التحتية للاتصالات، وتقييد الوصول إلى المعلومات، وممارسات الرقابة، وإسكات الأصوات الفلسطينية. وفي خضم هذه الأزمة الإنسانية المتصاعدة، أصبحت حماية الحقوق الرقمية، بما في ذلك الحق في الوصول إلى الإنترنت، وحرية التعبير، والحق في الحصول على المعلومات، ضرورة لا غنى عنها.<br> <br> يُعترف بشكلٍ متزايد بأن الوصول إلى الإنترنت هو حقٌ أساسي من حقوق الإنسان، إذ يُعتبر عنصرًا جوهريًا لممارسة حقوق أخرى مثل تبادل المعرفة، والتواصل الاجتماعي، والتنظيم السياسي، والمشاركة الاقتصادية. ومع ذلك، في غزة، أدى تدمير البنية التحتية للاتصالات إلى عزل المدنيين عن العالم الخارجي، ما حال دون قدرتهم على التواصل أو الوصول إلى معلوماتٍ حيوية أو توثيق الانتهاكات وجرائم الحرب التي يتعرضون لها. تم تدمير أكثر من 75% من شبكات الهواتف المحمولة في غزة، في حين تعرّضت شبكات الألياف الضوئية لأضرارٍ جسيمة، مما ترك جزءًا بسيطًا منها قيد التشغيل. هذا الانقطاع ألحق أضرارًا فادحة، شملت عرقلة الاستجابة الطارئة، وحجب الأخبار المهمة، وزيادة الضغوط النفسية على أولئك الذين انقطعوا عن أحبائهم أو خدمات الإنقاذ.<br> <br> في ذات الوقت، يواجه الفلسطينيون تصاعدًا مقلقًا في الرقابة والإقصاء الرقمي من قبل المنصات الإلكترونية الكبرى. مع تصاعد وتيرة الحرب، قامت هذه المنصات بإسكات الصحفيين الفلسطينيين والمواطنين والمؤسسات الإعلامية التي توثق الانتهاكات بشكل مباشر، مما أدى إلى قمع الشهادات المهمة وعرقلة فهم العالم للأزمة الإنسانية. كما زادت سياسات الإشراف على المحتوى من تهميش هذه الأصوات، مما فاقم عزل الفلسطينيين وانتهاك حقوقهم الرقمية. كما تضرّرت الفرص الاقتصادية التي تعتمد على المنصات الرقمية بشكلٍ كبير، حيث أدت القيود المالية والإقصاء الرقمي إلى منع التبرعات وقطع شرايين الحياة عن العائلات المعتمدة على المساعدات.<br> <br> سيتيح منتدى فلسطين للنشاط الرقمي 2025 مساحة حيوية لمناقشة هذه القضايا الحرجة وتسليط الضوء على الدور الأساسي للحقوق الرقمية في تعزيز الصمود، والعدالة، والكرامة الإنسانية. من خلال ورش العمل والجلسات وحلقات النقاش، يهدف المنتدى إلى تزويد النشطاء والمنظمات والممارسين بالأدوات اللازمة للدفاع عن الحريات الرقمية، وإعادة بناء البنية التحتية، ومحاسبة الشركات على قمع المحتوى والإقصاء الرقمي. كما تؤكد النقاشات على أهمية الحقوق الرقمية في توثيق الانتهاكات، وتضخيم أصوات المهمشين، وربط المجتمعات في أوقات الأزمات.<br> <br> دعونا نتكاتف للدفاع عن الحقوق الرقمية الفلسطينية، وإعادة التأكيد على أن الاتصال هو حق إنساني أساسي، خاصة في أوقات الإبادة والقمع المنهجي.<br> <br> ندعوكم لتقديم مقترحاتكم عبر النموذج في الرابط لتالي قبل 16.02.2025.<br> <br> سيقوم مركز حملة بدراسة المقترحات والتواصل مع الباحثين والمتقدمين الذين يتم قبول مقترحاتهم.<br> <br> لأي استفسارات، يرجى الكتابة إلى عنوان البريد الإلكتروني التالي: Forum@7amleh.org<br>

As far-right politicians Smotrich and Ben-Gvir escalate violence in the West Bank to undermine the ceasefire, our lead organizers, Mel Duncan and Amira Musallam, are on the ground laying the foundation to accomplish UCPiP’s goals: increasing the number of experienced Unarmed Civilian Protectors in Palestine and enhancing the work that is already being done there. <br> <br> Join us on March 2nd for a Zoom discussion supported by @israelisforpeacenyc and NYC’s chapter of @afcfpeace. Mel and Amira will share their findings and their vision for building the infrastructure to combat ceasefire violations, settler and state violence, and the systemic oppression of occupation.<br> <br> Stay tuned—the Zoom link will be in our bio closer to the date.
From the United States to South Africa to Palestine, anti-apartheid movements have mobilized communities to rise up against legal systems of racial injustice and oppression. Join us for a conversation with anti-apartheid activists and liberation theologians Rev. Wendell Griffen, Rev. Dr. Allan Boesak, and Palestinian activist Ms. Shadia Qubti about the contours of apartheid across countries, how anti-apartheid movements can learn from one another, and how we can continue to build international solidarity to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes against the Palestinian people like we do other apartheid regimes.<br> <br> For those signing up from outside of the US, please use zip code 19102 to complete your registration.<br> <br> Allan Boesak is retired professor of Black Liberation Theology, author of 24 books, most recently Selfless Revolutionaries, Biko, Black Consciousness, Black Theology and a Global Ethic of Solidarity and Resistance; Parables, Politics And Prophetic Faith (with Wendell L Griffen) and The Fire, the River, and the Scorched Earth Between, a 4-Volume work of lectures, essays and sermons.

Weldon has served with the CPT Iraq (2003 & 2010), Iraqi Kurdistan (2014-2022), and Palestine (2017 & 2018) teams. In this talk he will primarily focus on CPT's work in Iraqi Kurdistan where Kurds are impacted by the ongoing War of Terror initiated and defined by the United States.<br> Weldon Nisly is a peace activist and retired pastor. Prior to leading congregations in Cincinnati and Seattle for nearly 30 years, Weldon served with the Mennonite Church and Mennonite Central Committee in peace and poverty ministries.
