Dear Friend,

Tomorrow, 29 November, is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. To mark this moment we’re sharing a reading list spotlighting a collection of essential articles, reports, and videos that we’ve published over the past months.

“Everything in this world can be robbed and stolen, except one thing; this one thing is the love that emanates from a human being towards a solid commitment to a conviction or cause”

– Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972)

Despite the so-called ceasefire, Israel continues its genocide in Gaza and bombardement of Lebanon while the international community pushed forward Trump’s “Peace” plan through the UN Security Council Resolution passed on November 17. This Resolution legitimised the renewed occupation of Gaza under US control. By supporting it, even states that have publicly opposed to genocide failed to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Yet the Palestinian struggle for liberation lives on. On this year’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we remember the words of Palestinian revolutionary, journalist and writer Ghassan Kanafani, who reminds us that the Palestinian cause is a cause for every revolutionary around the world, and with each day that Palestinians live and resist against imperialism, settler colonialism and zionism, we must also resist and build towards a world with a liberated Palestine.

From the Favelas and Rural Brazil to Gaza

How militarism and greenwashing shape relations, resistance, and solidarity with Palestine in Brazil

By Andressa Oliveira Soares

Brazil’s solidarity movements have long supported Palestine, but economic and military ties with Israel continue to deepen. As Brazil prepares to host COP30, grassroots campaigns are exposing links between Israeli militarism and domestic inequality, agribusiness, and state violence. This moment offers a key opportunity to strengthen Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) efforts.

Ecocide, Imperialism and Palestine Liberation

By Hamza Hamouchene

The devastation in Gaza is not only genocide but also ecocide: the deliberate destruction of an entire social and ecological fabric. From poisoned soil and decimated farmland to collapsing water systems and seas choked with waste, Israel’s assault reveals how settler-colonial violence is inseparable from environmental harm. Linking the Palestinian struggle to the global fight against fossil capitalism and imperialism, this analysis argues that climate justice is impossible without Palestinian liberation.

India, Israel, Palestine

New equations demand new solidarities

By Achin Vanaik

India’s stance on Israel and Palestine has shifted dramatically. Once rooted in anti-imperialist solidarity, New Delhi now balances rhetoric with growing military, economic, and ideological ties to Israel. This longread traces the historical trajectory, examines regional dynamics, and explores how Hindutva reshapes India’s foreign policy and domestic responses.

Solidarity under Siege

Germany’s repression of the Palestine Movement

By Josephine Solanki

Since 7 October 2023, Germany’s unabating support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza is mirrored by a sweeping crackdown on Palestine solidarity at home. This ranges from protest bans and police violence, to lawfare, smear campaigns, cultural de-platforming, workplace reprisals, and the instrumentalisation of migration and asylum law.

The state has been aided by most of the media and even parts of the NGO system and the political left. Together, these measures illustrate the emergence of a repressive infrastructure in Germany, based on the intentional conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism, which criminalises almost any effective form of solidarity with Palestine and threatens broader civil liberties.

Toolkit: Disrupting Energy Corporations for the Liberation of Palestine

Alliances, strategies and tactics grassroots movements can use to target Eni and Dana Petroleum towards a global energy embargo for Palestine

This is an activist toolkit designed to provide grassroots movements with the narrative framing, detailed research, and tactical inspiration for targeting energy corporations fuelling and financing the ongoing settler occupation and genocide in Palestine. It focuses on two companies, Dana Petroleum and Eni SpA (Eni). In October 2023, these corporations were awarded gas exploration licences from Israel, despite being in Palestinian maritime waters, recognised under international law. This potential legal violation provides strategic leverage for movements to apply pressure on these corporations, and mobilise transnationally for an energy embargo to end the ongoing genocide and for the liberation of Palestine.

“Palestinian liberation is inseparable from the fight against global fossil capitalism”

Interview with Hamza Hamouchene

Hamza Hamouchene, North Africa Programme Coordinator at the Transnational Institute and author of numerous articles and books, was in Montevideo for an international meeting and he spoke with Brecha about the Palestinian cause and how it is linked to climate and environmental justice.

From Allende to Albanese: The Legacies of Colonialism, Imperialism and the Struggle to Tame the Corporation

Half a century after Allende’s UN warning on corporate domination, the same forces drive today’s violence in Palestine. As corporations profit from occupation and war, the struggle for a binding treaty becomes central to reclaiming sovereignty and justice.

Too Little Too Late

We need to suspend the EU Israel agreement immediately

By Lucía Bárcena

Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, yet the EU maintains its trade agreement. This double standard exposes Europe's complicity and moral failure. Only an immediate suspension, not a review, can end its support for these crimes.
