Visualizing Palestine

Today’s story from our Growth of A Movement timeline highlights pension fund divestment campaigns that pushed some of the world’s largest funds to cut ties with corporations complicit in violations of Palestinian rights & international law. bds.visualizingpalestine.org/pension-funds/ @BDSmovement

We teamed up with animator ( IG: @amjad.jarrar) & audio artist (IG: @sakkennnnn) to animate “Colonial Violence & Reproductive Injustice in the West Bank.” This visual, created with @miftahpal, highlights multiple gender-specific impacts of Israeli settler colonialism on women.

Instead of funding genocide & wars, the U.S. could prioritize human life by investing in healthcare, housing, & other needs. If you pay U.S. taxes, create your own Tax Day flyer: notmytaxdollars.org #NotMyTaxDollars @uscpr_action

A record number of Palestinian children were held in Israeli military detention at the end of 2025, and a record proportion of these children were held without charge. This is what they experience. Learn more: itsnotover4palestine.com #FreeTheChildren @gbsumudflotilla

When Israel bombed Iran in 2025, German Chancellor Merz praised them for doing “the dirty work for all of us.” Our visual w/@elsclegal depicts Europe’s architecture of repression, from support for Israeli genocide & regional aggression to criminalization of Palestine solidarity.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we honor Palestinian women. For decades, Palestinian women have carried forward the struggle for justice and dignity while building life in the face of ongoing violence, siege, displacement, dispossession, & genocide.

We updated “Questions from Palestinian Children in Gaza” with new data accompanying the same questions, which especially resonate as communities across the region face the expanding specter of U.S.–Israeli aggression & impunity for flagrant violations of international law.

The European Legal Support Center (ELSC) said on Wednesday that it has verified 964 cases of “anti-Palestinian repression” from January 2019 until August 2025 aje.news/1um2yi

The European Legal Support Center says this figure is the “tip of the iceberg” of pro-Palestine repression in the UK.

This is what repression looks like. Opponents of Israel’s genocide in Gaza have faced a crackdown at all levels of British society, a new index by legal experts has found, with arrests, threats, sackings, harassment, censorship and even physical violence playing a role in crushing pro-Palestinian voices.

In 2025, we produced visuals responding to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and broader aggression. We reflect on a year defined by crimes against humanity, entrenched impunity, and unwavering grassroots solidarity. visualizingpalestine.medium.com/a-fire-unceasi…

Education in Gaza is survival, dignity, and the foundation for recovery. Through @TaawonPalestine 's ISNAD program, you can sponsor a student at one of Gaza’s three public universities to resume and complete their studies through distance learning. taawon.org/en/isnad

One of the three journalists killed in the Israeli airstrike on a clearly marked humanitarian vehicle in central Gaza early Wednesday was Abed Shaat, a veteran freelance cameraman who worked closely with CBS News for years and regularly filed footage from Gaza, CBS News said on Wednesday ➤ Shaat, 30, has recently married, and was remembered by CBS colleagues as a brave, highly skilled journalist working under extreme conditions. He had also contributed to AFP, though he was not on assignment at the time. ➤ The two other journalists killed were Mohammed Salah Qashta and Anas Ghneim. ➤ The Israeli military said in a statement that its troops "identified several suspects who operated a drone affiliated with Hamas in the central Gaza Strip, in a manner that posed a threat to their safety," and then "struck the suspects who activated the drone." ➤ As Drop Site News reported earlier, the journalists were embedded with the Egyptian Relief Committee and were filming humanitarian aid distribution when they were struck. Israeli forces routinely justify killings by claiming an unspecified “threat” without presenting evidence, a pattern Gaza authorities say has accompanied the killing of 483 Palestinians since the ceasefire 100 days ago, more than 96 percent of them struck inside residential areas far from the so-called “Yellow Line.”

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has reversed measures targeting Palestine solidarity and the right to boycott. Revisit A Growth of a Movement to explore how BDS continues to challenge corporate, state, and institutional complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. bds.visualizingpalestine.org

NYC Mayor Mamdani moved quickly to undo executive orders banning city agencies from boycotting Israel & adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Revisit our visual below & see how attacks on Palestinian solidarity spread to climate action, gun control, trans rights, & more.
