"Operation Summer Camp" aka Gen/cide in the West Bank

September 21, 2024

Good morning. Remember that every day is a good day to take action in support of Palestinian liberation.

LEARN. Read this article from Shatha Hanaysha at Mondoweiss, “‘Days filled with terror’: Palestinians in Jenin recount harrowing 10-day Israeli army invasion,” where they write about how, “[f]or 10 days, the Israeli army imposed a siege on the northern West Bank city of Jenin, killing dozens of Palestinians. Hundreds of residents were forced to flee holding white flags, while others were trapped in their homes with no food or water.”

NOTICE. What do you notice when you read this article and think about the name “Operation Summer Camps”? Do you feel a difference reading about the West Bank compared to reading about Gaza?

ACT. Follow and amplify Palestinian journalists who are reporting from the West Bank including Mariam Barghouti, Nida’ Ibrahim, and Faten Elwan.

SHARE. Forward this to at least 3 friends who might not know the gen/cide is happening all throughout Palestine.

ASK. What else do you feel you need or want to learn about the West Bank? Please reply to this email (or, if you are reading this online, leave a comment below) to let us know.*

In solidarity for Palestinian liberation,

Rebecca Steckle, on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We chose the name of our collective to honor the poem, “Shades of Anger,” by Palestinian-Canadian poet Rafeef Ziadah. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.
