The Jerusalem Fund & Palestine Center

Over the past half-century, America has extended its military power globally, impacting both foreign lands and its own streets. Decades ago, the Wars on Drugs and Terror broke down the walls separating law enforcement from military operations. “A World of Enemies” tells the story of how an America plagued by fears of waning power and influence embraced foreign and domestic forever wars. Professor Osamah Khalil explores how the militarization of US domestic and foreign affairs stemmed from the Vietnam War’s failure. This approach, viewing problems like crime and terrorism as enemies spawned in “badlands”, has led to militarized policies with few successes. Khalil discusses the ongoing implications of these failures, from Chicago to Gaza.

This year, the holy month of Ramadan arrives amid profound challenges, as Palestinians in Gaza face a genocide of unprecedented scale in the 21st century. Israeli bombings have claimed the lives of tens of thousands, decimated homes, and obliterated entire cities, towns, and neighborhoods. Nearly two million Palestinians are now displaced, and, five months into this brutal genocide, they continue to suffer from starvation, disease, and dehydration. Meanwhile, Palestinians in the West Bank endure ongoing settler attacks as Israel intensifies its efforts to seize Palestinian lands. Jerusalem itself is under siege, particularly its sacred sites, with millions of worshippers denied access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Palestinians in the diaspora face systematic attempts to criminalize and silence their advocacy for their brethren back home and their right to return. Ramadan comes at a time when the quest for Palestinian liberation encounters unparalleled obstacles, and our people—our families, friends, and communities—face unimaginable hardships. Thus, as we welcome Ramadan, we do so with a deep awareness and recognition of our people’s suffering and sacrifices. We reaffirm our commitment to sharing their stories, amplifying their voices, and supporting their resilience during these times of profound difficulty and struggle.

The photos in our Ramadan greeting are from our archives, capturing scenes from the heart of Gaza City from previous years. We share these images to honor Gaza as a place that persists despite pain, suffering, and aggression, and that will continue to live and triumph.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we stand in solidarity with and honor the courage and resilience of Palestinian women everywhere, especially those in Gaza, who face an unprecedented genocide. Israeli bombs killed more than 9,000 Palestinian women in Gaza in the past five months. We mourn our martyrs, and we honor the resistance and resilience of Palestinian women, especially amidst this adversity.

"Aaron’s sacrifice echoed the inner turmoil and frustration of millions globally, who have been seething with rage and despair for months, witnessing the ongoing tragedy in Gaza. This genocide, supported by Western powers, continues unabated, while the world’s top political, legal, and humanitarian institutions’ continue to be unable to halt the carnage in Gaza killing fields."
