Displaced in Gaza

"Displacement is not a coincidence but the outcome of a premeditated agenda. It’s
fundamentally a human rights issue and documenting the stories of displaced people
in Gaza is an important step towards restorative justice."

~ Nkosi Zwelivelile
Grandson of Nelson Mandela

"Displacing people in Gaza has become forcibly normalized. Some Palestinians have
been displaced 20 times. e stories in Displaced in Gaza are a must-read."
~ Ahmed Abu Artema
Palestinian poet, journalist and co-founder of the Great March of Return

"Before you can forgive, you must remember. In these testimonies, Palestinians insist
on memory. We are aware how the world is ready to move past our memory as soon
as the world determines we are now “after Gaza,” that the genocide has stopped. But
after the genocide is still a genocide. Palestinians know that we must overcome this
“after,” too. And so we tell our stories to honor the love in our hearts."
~ Fady Joudah
Palestinian poet and author of “ Earth in the Attic” and “[...]: Poems”

"ese rst-hand Palestinian accounts by survivors of Israel’s ethnic cleansing are
chilling testaments to the devastation of displacement. Subject to genocidal violence
as part of the ongoing Nakba – settler colonial elimination – the individuals whose
stories are included here are part of a crucial documentation project. is important
collection is a call out to the world community to not only bear witness, but to assert
our collective political will to end these atrocious war crimes."

~ J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, Ph.D.

"is harrowing collection of rst testimonies from survivors of the Gaza Genocide –
featuring voices from old and young, fathers, and mothers – oers an urgent,
personal perspective on the realities faced by those forcibly displaced by Israel. It
should be read by all people. Read them, then read them again – you will be left
wondering how the world allowed such atrocities to unfold – and be motivated
towards meaningful action."
