This issue is titled “Palestine and the Global Order” and focuses on the multiple dimensions of the ongoing genocide, now reaching its third year. 

There is little doubt that the effects of Al-Aqsa Flood, led by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), have rippled throughout the world, sharpening divisions, and forcing clarity about global racial and power hierarchies. The genocidal assault by Israel against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, with full military, diplomatic, and financial support from much of the Western world, particularly the United States, is one of the darkest chapters of humanity since World War Two. But despite this, Palestinian resistance and global solidarity continues and, we hasten to predict, will grow from strength to strength in its quest for justice. In this issue we have curated just a few of the multiple facets of the Palestinian struggle and the global solidarity movement, some of which also shed light on changing global dynamics.
