London: up next is the launch of CONFRONTING ZIONISM with Noura Erakat, John Reynolds & Rafeef Ziadah.
This will be the *only* UK event for this book.
Tickets and the book have been priced absolutely as low as possible. Comment TICKET and we'll DM you a link.
Don't miss this chance to hear from some of the most influential thinkers on Palestine working today and their new work.
ABOUT THE BOOK
For over one hundred years, Palestinians have struggled for liberation in their homeland. CONFRONTING ZIONISM takes direct analytical aim at the ideology and institutional structures animating Israel’s brutal rule over Palestinian lives.
Taking lessons from ongoing inequalities in South Africa as well as anticolonial and socialist policies across the global south, CONFRONTING ZIONISM argues that at this crucial historical juncture, decolonization in Palestine predicated on redistribution, reparations and refugee return remains the only just way forward.
Just comment TICKET below and we'll DM you details.

NEW: Today, The Key publishes a dispatch from the frontlines of a fight over the sale of occupied Palestinian land in the City of New York.
Journalist Sohini Desai lays out how Israeli real estate events selling properties in areas deemed illegally occupied under international law are facilitated by the city: Its funding supports the synagogues where they are often hosted, police keep protesters at a distance, and lawmakers have spent the past year advancing legislation to keep it that way.
When he was a state assemblymember, Zohran Mamdani introduced legislation that would bar New York nonprofits from funding or facilitating illegal settlement activity that violates international law. But as mayor, he has yet to take concrete steps on the issue. As Israel’s violent settlement expansion accelerates in the occupied West Bank, local activists are left wondering if Mamdani will do anything to stop his own city from enabling it.
Although settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem are illegal under international law, U.S. law is unsettled. Advocates and legal experts are advancing arguments that settlements not only violate international law, but U.S. law as well, and say there is room to act.

London: only a few days now until the launch of CONFRONTING ZIONISM, the new book from Noura Erakat and John Reynolds.
Join us to hear the very latest in decolonial thought.
"Using South Africa and Tanzania as examples, Erakat and Reynolds propose new models of decolonization, requiring return, reparations, and redistribution of wealth accumulated under Zionism, noting that the presence of settlers is less of a problem than the persistence of a settler colonial mindset. An eye-opening and thought-provoking read." - Booklist
An essential new read for anyone looking for practical tools for confronting and dismantling Zionism.
Comment TICKET and we'll DM you a link to buy.
📅 Tuesday November 17th at The Light in Euston, London.

Earlier this year we printed this two-colour Riso print for @palfest (Palestine Festival of Literature) to promote a new book from artist and writer @mollycrabapple Molly Crabapple 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund'. The Risographed art print, illustrated by Molly herself, features artwork from an election flyer for a local Jewish council in Volkovsyk (her greatgrandfather's hometown) from May 1938 as the background, and was included in a select number of the books.
The book itself is deeply personal, partially inspired by Crabapple’s great-grandfather, the Post-Impressionist artist Samuel Rothbort, and a sweeping history about how the simultaneous rise of political Zionism and the Jewish Labor Bund shaped the 20th century and beyond. As described by the author, “A lot of this book is about solidarity at its core, the beauty of solidarity, but also the fragility and the failures of solidarity and how often it shatters, but also at the same time how it’s the only thing that can save us and stop us from this cycle of barbarism”.

Our book of the week this week is ENTER WORLD, Dalia Taha's debut collection of poetry, translated into English by Sara Elkamel. In these lyric poems, writes Kaveh Akbar, "there’s no lazy syllable, no wasted gesture; everything has the feel of elemental, irreducible truth."
Writing from Ramallah, Dalia Taha captures her proximity to the Gaza genocide—the losses unspeakable and the destruction near total. In ENTER WORLD, poetry emerges as an answer to the violences of war, as a means to encounter and foster resilience. Taha’s lines bear witness to the atrocities in Palestine, but also reflect lyrically on beauty, justice, and humanity.
In Sara Elkamel’s spare and emotionally direct translation, each poem’s title begins with “enter,” an invitation to fill an empty stage, for a landscape to form. The poet’s world materializes: olive trees, hills, inscribed walls in prison cells. These images accrue into an intimate and mythic declaration of resistance through art, of beauty found amid terror. A world is captured, made permanent on the page, even as it is obliterated.
ENTER WORLD is out now from Graywolf Press. Comment BOOK to get a link to order your copy from our Bookshop storefront.

The Key is honored to share a new translation of Mahmoud Darwish’s “The Land Poem,” from his 1977 poetry collection “A’ras” (“Weddings”), translated by Barbara Romaine.
As Omar Khalifah writes in his introduction, Darwish wrote these poems in the wake of what came to be known as Land Day: in 1976, the Israeli government moved to seize thousands of acres of Palestinian land near the Galilee, and the plan was met with strikes and protests across several villages. Israeli forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing several Palestinians, and the date has been marked ever since.
Barbara Romaine’s translation appears in the new poetry anthology “Mahmoud Darwish: Poems,” edited by Hannah Lilith Assadi and Omar Khalifah and released this week by Penguin Random House.

In a moment of genocide, we have no revolutionary leadership at the helm of our struggle. This is, perhaps, one of the most painful truths we have to contend with in this chapter of our ongoing Nakba. This is our biggest and most urgent challenge as Palestinians. Resuscitating our struggle from the ashes of the past three decades, from the failures of partition and negotiations, and the ensuing horror of genocide and genocidal reconstruction. We are (re)building our revolution. We must.
This passage is drawn from a longer excerpt of What Now: On Palestine, Freedom, and Our Global Future, written by Al-Shabaka analyst Tareq Baconi and published by Washington Square Press on November 3, 2026. Al-Shabaka is pleased to publish the excerpt.

Publication day is next Tuesday November 10. (Go vote today) Aptly, Nov 10 also the day the UN condemned Zionism as a form of Racism and Racial Discrimination in 1975.
Professor John Reynolds and I wrote Confronting Zionism and Building the World Anew (@haymarketbooks ) to empower activists and organizers to hold the line and ensure that Zionism, buried beneath the rubble in Gaza, is not rehabilitated once again. As the animating ideology of genocide, and like other racist and colonial ideologies, it is a crime against humanity and should be confronted as such. Decolonization of Palestine - political, material, ideological is necessary not only for Palestinians but survival of a world worthy of our children.
Here are some of the first book talks for the rest of 2026:
Philadelphia | Nov 10 hosted by @lalaliljidar and @abolitionschool
London | Nov 17 hosted by @palfest w @john.j.reynolds @rafeef.ziadah & Ta-Nehisi Coates
Barcelona | Nov 21 hosted by @backstorybookshop w @john.j.reynolds and @olgarodriguezfr
New York | Dec 8 hosted by Haymarket Books w @hala.n.alyan
Join us, read the book, pass it along, and organize to win.
