Its only been a few weeks since a ceasefire was agreed upon between Israel and Hamas, but Gaza is still reeling from the destruction. We were lucky enough to get in touch with Rania Elhilou, the Media Relations Officer for ANERA in Gaza, to talk about her experience keeping her family safe during the offensive and what it was like to return to work after the hostilities were over.

Palestine Note’s “People for Palestine” profiles authors, filmmakers, journalists, activists, academics and others dedicated to freedom for Palestinians from all over the world.

Rana Baker and Joe Catron - After two successful Israeli Apartheid Weeks (IAWs) in 2010 and 2011, the Palestinian Students’ Campaign for the Academic Boycott of Israel (PSCABI), together with the One Democratic State Group (ODSG) and  the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI),  are gearing up for Gaza’s third IAW.

PSCABI is a group of young Gaza students and recent graduates who are highly committed to thePalestinian civil society call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. They founded the organization early in 2009, shortly after Operation Cast Lead, on their belief that Gaza should encourage and further inspire international solidarity groups around the world.
