Honoring the lives and legacies of Palestinian academics whose voices have been silenced
I’m glad to see this website as a means of preserving the memory of the Palestinian academics who were murdered by Israel. I hope there will be other websites that do the same for journalists, healthcare workers, and others who have been murdered by the genocidal nation. All of Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity must be recorded and widely disseminated in multiple languages. We never forget or forgive.
Poetry in cover art excerpted from Mahmoud Darwish’s epic poem “Madīḥ al-ẓẓil al-‘ālī” (“In Praise of the High Shadow”):
Son of more than my father
How alone you were
The wheat is bitter
In the fields of others
And the water tastes of salt
The clouds are steel
And this star can scar
And you have to live and be alive
And in exchange for an olive
Have to give your skin
How alone you were
