Where should I start?

Most people live busy lives and a reality of this is that they get most of their knowledge about Palestine filtered through the mainstream TV and print media, such as the BBC, LBC radio, or The Times newspaper.

Unfortunately these are not reliable or trustworthy sources of information about Palestine. With most Western media outfits owned by one of five billionaires who actively dislike black and brown people.

If you think that might negatively impact the stories you’re likely to hear on these media outlets then you’d be right!

Because of this we’ve put together a few resources that will help orient you towards a human rights based understanding of Palestine.

Depending on if you prefer to read, listen or watch – the suggestions listed here are excellent primers.
