In recent months, Mahmoud Khalil and dozens of other students and graduates in the U.S. were detained and are facing deportation for their belief in human dignity. A state only gets this repressive and totalitarian when it’s on the verge of collapse. As people who stand against genocide take to the streets in defense of Khalil and the Palestinian people, I find myself thinking of Alareer again, who when Israel announced the evacuation orders of Gaza City said, “Fuck you. We are not leaving.”
The U.S. government ramped up its opposition to pro-Palestinian activism on university campuses starting with Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil was a lead negotiator during the 2024 Columbia University “Gaza Solidarity Encampment”, who faced detention and the threat of deportation despite being a legal permanent resident.
Palestine’s infielder and outfielder Mustafa Ahmad Tafesh, 21, was killed by an Israeli airstrike yesterday.
The Palestine Baseball and Softball Federation doesn’t have a home field to play on because of Israel’s brutal occupation which extremely limits Palestinians on their land. So with that in mind, volunteers in the United States scheduled three games to promote the team and help prepare and evaluate the talent for the Asian Baseball Championship in China in September.
As President Donald Trump’s administration continues targeting those protesting the ongoing genocide of Palestinians by Israel, organizers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) recalled their experiences of campus protests last year.
Attending the funeral of every person killed in Gaza would take three years of non-stop processions. Islamic practices dictate that we must clean and bury the dead without delay to grant them dignity in death. But how can we do that when the majority of our kin are already buried and decomposing under the rubble? Even the civil registry cannot keep up; 50,000 Palestinians are gone, uncounted for and unspoken. And beyond the names, the whole worlds they carried are destroyed. How can we remember what we never had the chance to know?
This Palestine in America Encampment Edition is not just a record of protest. It is a chronicle of memory, of struggle, of defiance. It is a gathering of voices that are often forgotten or misrepresented, of voices that still insist on being heard in a world bent on silencing them. It is also a love letter to Palestine, to the people who risked everything to say her name, and to the kind of journalism that dares to stand beside them.
I was among the 108 students arrested for the Columbia University Gaza Solidarity Encampment in April 2024. I was punished—not for the first nor last time—for daring to express solidarity with my people amid their ongoing genocide.

Sunday afternoon’s 11-5 victory against Sri Lanka didn’t start off pretty. A few first inning errors put Palestine in an early 3-0 hole, but their timely hitting and base running helped seal their third win in a row.
By the end of the first inning, it was clear runs wouldn’t be hard to come by for Group A’s top ranked team. From top to bottom, Palestine’s line up produced. Palestine scored at least 1 run every inning. Eight different players drove in runs, four of them drove in at least 3 runs, leading to the 22-7 win.
Brent Powers’ dominant performance put Palestine in the driver seat to begin the West Asia Baseball Cup and allowed the team to save their pitching rotation for the rest of group play. Powers only allowed 2 hits and struck out 15 batters during 9 innings of work.
