THREAD: In light of the rapidly unfolding events across Palestine that were sparked by the #SaveSheikhJarrah movement, it's important to amplify the voices & points of view of Palestinians.

So here are a few articles published by Al-Shabaka analysts over the past few days:
In this @Independent piece, Al-Shabaka's Muna Dajani (@muna_d) spoke of her deep connection to the unfolding events as her own family is one of those facing expulsion in #SheikhJarrah

"This is our city. These are our homes. We refuse to be erased" bit.ly/3vYBEKh
In this powerful piece in the @washingtonpost, @4noura and @MariamBarghouti slammed the "empty both sides-isms" and called for solidarity to overcome apartheid & Zionist settler colonialism washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Commenting on the early Israeli repression against the #SaveSheikhJarrah protesters, @MariamBarghouti argued that the watered-down US political language "does not have the capacity to address Palestine because it is disabled by white supremacy" aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/…
In this great analysis in @guardian, @ziadqattan argues that for Palestinians everywhere, "moments like these, and the resharing of them online, have become symbolic of what our struggle is about: the right to return and to live in freedom in our homeland bit.ly/3oh3xL5
Providing a sobering analysis, @alaatartir argued that with "the ultimate goal being to attain national rights ... victory must not be celebrated too early.

True victory requires safeguarding achievements & continuing the popular action" #SaveSheikhJarrah middleeasteye.net/opinion/jerusa…
In her latest for @AJEnglish, @yarahawari exposes 'The Skunk', an Israeli-made "crowd control weapon" known for its toxic, & at times, lethal effect, which Israel is deploying against #SaveSheikhJarrah protesters & other demonstrators across Palestine aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/…
In yet another important piece in @washingtonpost, Al-Shabaka's @danaelkurd writes of how the #SaveSheikhJarrah action is facilitating unparalleled connections with Palestinians in communities within Israel, in places that haven't seen protests for decades washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

في الوقت الذي تتجه فيه كل الأنظار إلى القدس وسط الحملة الإسرائيلية المستمرة ضد حراك #انقذوا_حي_الشيخ_جراح وهجمات اليوم على مصلين في #الاقصى نشارك هذه المقالات المختارة باقلام محللينا على مر السنين لفهم السياق التاريخي والسياسي للأحداث الجارية:
في هذا التحليل من عام 2011 ، يتناول سليم تماري الجذور التاريخية لتقديس مدينة القدس ويرى بأن المقترحات بشأن مستقبل القدس تتجاهل جوهر الصراع على المدينة في آليات القهر الاستعماري وهو الأمر الذي يجب معالجته وإيجاد حلٍّ منصف وعادل له bit.ly/3uBzeky
تعليقًا على احتجاجات مماثلة في القدس عام 2015 ، حذرت نور عرفة من تأطير هذه الأحداث بإطار الحرب الدينية الذي يتجاهل واقع انعدام توازن القوى بين المستعمِر والمستعمَر، ولا يراعي التاريخ والسياق للأحداث الأخيرة bit.ly/2Qa5A7e

THREAD: As all eyes turn to Jerusalem amid the ongoing Israeli crackdown on the #SaveSheikhJarrah movement & today's attacks on #AlAqsaMosque worshippers, we share these pieces by our analysts over the years to give some historical & political context to the unfolding events:
In one of our early pieces in 2011, Al-Shabaka analyst Salim Tamari argues that proposals for the future of Jerusalem ignore the fact that at its core the conflict over the city is a case of colonial subjugation which must be addressed & resolved equitably ow.ly/rIcZ50EICo6
Reflecting on similar protests in Jerusalem in 2015, Nur Arafeh warned against framing such them as a religious war because that ignores the reality of the power imbalance between the colonizer & the colonized and fails to address the conext of the events ow.ly/Y9Ls50EICmR
