🌹After 21 Years Behind Bars, a Palestinian Novelist Who Helped Redefine Palestinian Prison Literature Steps Into Freedom

“Peace be upon Gaza, on the day it fights, endures, and resists this colonialism,” said novelist Bassem Khandaqji yesterday, in his first public comments after being released and deported to Egypt under the Gaza ceasefire and captive exchange agreement.

Born in Nablus in 1983, Khandaqji was arrested in 2004 during his final year at university and later sentenced to three life terms by an Israeli military court.

Israel accused him of belonging to a Fatah-linked cell allegedly involved in the Carmel Market bombing in Tel Aviv, which killed three Israelis and injured more than fifty.

He denied any part and there is no public evidence of his participation in the attack. His arrest and sentencing came during a broader wave of detentions during the Second Intifada, when Israel frequently charged Palestinians under sweeping “security” laws. 

For over two decades, Khandaqji was held in various Israeli prisons, including high-security facilities like Gilboa, Hadareem, and Megiddo. He used that time to transform his cell into what friends called a “cultural operations room,” producing novels and poetry that helped redefine Palestinian prison literature, Al Jazeera Arabic reports. 

Unlike many of his contemporaries, he avoided autobiographical accounts of captivity, believing that literature endures beyond politics and circumstance. 

In 2022, he penned a novel called, “A Mask Dyed the Color of the Sky” about Nur, a Palestinian archaeologist living in a refugee camp near Ramallah who discovers a blue Israeli identity card in the pocket of an old coat. Over time he assumes the identity of the card’s owner, “Ur,” in order to infiltrate Israeli-controlled spaces. 

Friends in France translated and published his books including his 2022 novel while he was still imprisoned, and his family signed novels at launch events in Ramallah on his behalf. In 2024, Bassem Khandaqji was awarded the International Prize for Arabic Fiction—often called the “Arabic Booker.”

Que los vecinos de Santa Cruz de Tenerife hayan propuesto cambiar el monumento a Franco por una estatua de Batman me parece una genialidad, algo digno de un cerebro galaxia. Y desde aquí todo mi apoyo a estos héroes anónimos para que esto salga adelante.

Some have told me “You knew the risks" — as if justice were a game of odds, as if international  law were optional, and those who defend it deserve what happens to them. That logic says that might is right, and that fear should rule our conscience, writes Italian MEP Benedetta Scuderi.

Lo mismo pasa con los muertos palestinos. Hay miles “desperdigados, bajo los escombros”, que no figuran en las estadísticas oficiales que solo incluye aquellos que han podido ser identificados.

Está confusión muestra el amasijo de cadáveres que hay en Gaza, de resultas de los bombardeos israelíes. “Están desperdigados, bajo escombros y en algunos casos, en paradero desconocido”. El gobierno de Netanyahu prefirió arrasar, a sabiendas de que mataría ciudadanos israelíes en el proceso.

Hussam Abu Safiya, símbolo para Gaza, sigue detenido.

Hay al menos 19 médicos detenidos en Israel sin cargos y que estos “enfrentan un riesgo muy grave para su salud y para sus vidas”, señala Médicos sin Fronteras, “están siendo torturados y sometidos cotidianamente a la violencia”.

Israel’s hostage protest movement finally prevails — against its own government

As those who fought for their release celebrate, the Israeli government is seeking to recast itself as the hostages’ savior despite abandoning them for two years.

It would be a great act of publicity service to find the people who are running these accounts and hopefully leak their Discord chats.

La UE gasta importando petróleo para el transporte en carreteras el equivalente a un Plan Marshall por cuatrimestre (!). Nos desangramos económicamente por nuestra adicción a lo fósil.

But today I was struck by essentially a footnote number in Brueghel's Cleantech tracker. The EU spends €250billion per year (!) importing oil and fully half of that goes on road transport.
Crucially, these are not extrapolations or projections. They are receipts. And that is a very big number.

Lo que sí es una unidad arancelaria diferenciada en el caso chino es Hong Kong.

Pero China es una unidad arancelaria como lo es la UE. Lo que no hace la UE ni Estados Unidos es aplicar aranceles sólo a Shanghai. Eso es de lo que estábamos hablando.
