Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israeli Peace Activist Released from Prison

HeadlineJan 04, 2007

Meanwhile in Israel, an Israeli peace activist imprisoned for aiding a Palestinian militant has been released from jail. Tali Fahima had served more than two years of her three-year sentence for aiding Zakaria Zubeidi, the head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin. As part of her conditions for early release, Fahimi will be barred from visiting the Occupied Territories. As she emerged from jail Wednesday, Fahima said: “I don’t regret anything. I will continue to work against the occupation and for peace.”
