Palestine in Focus

Palestine in Focus

From the Editor

Since its inception, MiC has been committed to battling misinformation and colonialist narratives. MiC's commitment to progressive journalism informs “Palestine in Focus,” an expanding page that spotlights our news coverage, commentary and art centering Palestinian liberation. As future journalists, we have a moral obligation to bring attention to imbalances in power — to report on conflicts with historical context that centers truth, equity and moral clarity. We hope that this page can be part of a new reckoning — one that seeks to dismantle oppression and the language that justifies it while uplifting the people of Palestine.
