This zine is an easy, short read to learn the basics about the occupation of Palestine. It is formatted for print, so it requires a bit of navigation to read in proper order but it's doable. Here's the link for this and other pro-Palestine zines: https://trueleappress.com/2023/11/13/from-the-river-to-the-sea-collection-of-palestine-solidarity-zines-formatted-to-print/

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. #khalas This weekend, I had the joy of celebrating NAAHM at a friend’s gallery opening. It’s hard to put into words how powerful it felt to be in that room. It was so much more than great art and good people. In a time when people are being persecuted, displaced, and punished for speaking out in defense of Arab livesβ€”especially in Gazaβ€”this gathering, though celebratory, also held mourning and sorrow. We are witnessing a rise in anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hate. And yet, to be in community, to honor this moment so fully and unapologetically, was a small act of resistance. That truth echoed in our smiles, our conversations, our presence. I’m deeply grateful to be welcomed into these spacesβ€”and even more grateful to stand side by side with my brothers and sisters in arms. There is no liberation under occupation. In a conversation last night, a friend reminded me: we can’t wait for others to save us. Liberation won’t come from outside. We have to show up for each other. We have to care deeply enoughβ€”for our neighbors, our peopleβ€”to fight for one another. Iβ€˜m grateful for art, resistance, and the power of community. May we never stop showing upβ€”for each other, for truth, for freedom. The land remembers. The people remain.
