Photojournalism at its best. We invite you to meet Palestinian people and their beloved homeland, across decades. This is the book Palestine – People, Land, and Solidarity – With Our Own Eyes: 1977, 2009, Today.
Our original photographs, on nearly every page, introduce you to Palestinian life and resistance in Gaza, Nazareth, Jerusalem, the West Bank. In photos and first-hand accounts, we document early Israeli occupation: settlements in the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem, home demolitions in Gaza, prisons in every municipality. We interview Yasser Arafat, Abu Iyad, Abu Jihad, Mai Sayegh of the General Union of Palestinian Women, and Abu Hussein, a leader of the General Union of Palestinian Workers who took part in the 1936 general strike. Our ultra-high-resolution GigaPan panoramic photos lay bare the scale and intensity of the Israeli apartheid wall and settlement expansion. We meet Umm Kamel, refusing erasure and fighting Israeli eviction from a makeshift tent just outside her Jerusalem home. Photos and words of today weave a tapestry of voices from the Palestine solidarity movement. Don’t miss “We Resist for Siti’s Laugh.”

Reviews
“The authors have composed a moving account of the Palestinian struggle for freedom. Through their photographs and interviews with farmers, fishermen, workers, activists, students, and so many others, they have created a beautiful portrait of Palestinian society. And through their lifelong commitments, from reporting on the Palestinian revolution in the 1970s to supporting the university students demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza today, they have gifted us with an exemplary model of solidarity.”
-Paul Kohlbry, University of California, Santa Barbara
Order yourself this gem and visit the past and present of Palestine.
The personal stories from the authors/photographers’ own visits. Their pictures—from three different timeframes. The historical facts weaved in and out, including with easy-to-follow diagrams and maps. Dives into various locations of dear Palestine—including Khan Younis in Gaza and Nablus.
Can’t say enough about the photography. So many expressions on faces in so many photographs from nearly fifty years ago still seem the same as the ones showing up on our phones now. That entire section dedicated to pictures of breathtaking artwork and resistance murals are rivaled only by the breathtaking pictures of the oh so beautiful Northern Hills, with their poppies, olive groves, strawberries, and tea-infused hospitality. You can feel how the indigenous live with the land. You may even forget for a brief moment the devastating domination that has cursed this land and its people.
Much gratitude to the authors/photographers for such a valuable contribution to keeping the flame of Palestine alive and well.
– An ordinary person heartbroken by the Palestinian tragedy — but refusing to let hopelessness prevail
