“Free & Equal: a Journal of Ethics and Public Affairs”, the open-access journal created by the editorial team that resigned en masse from “Philosophy & Public Affairs” earlier this year, is now open to submissions.

In Deutschland werden jüdische Stimmen, die die Politik Israels kritisieren, immer wieder des Antisemitismus bezichtigt und diffamiert. Als antisemitisch gelten diese Ausgrenzungen aber nicht. Diese Verzerrung ist hochgefährlich – und bildet den Bodensatz für einen neuen deutschen Patriotismus.

"Attacks and smears against those who proclaim “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” were always part of a strategy for erasing and undermining Palestinian self-determination."

Across the world, people standing in solidarity with Palestine in the face of Israel's genocidal siege are being silenced and punished for their principled stance. We are launching a call for stories of censorship and retribution for demanding justice for Palestinians.
