Contribute to The New York War Crimes

The New York War Crimes is a free newspaper, produced by and for the Palestine solidarity movement in New York City. What began as a critique of the Times's complicity in the U.S.-backed Israeli war on Gaza has become a crucial organ of the anti-war, anti-imperialist cultural front, with new issues published on significant days — May Day, Nakba Day, Juneteenth — and distributed in bookstores and bodegas, in subway stations and coffee shops, at protests and rallies.

Continuing in the tradition of Gran Fury's The New York Crimes, which covered what the so-called “paper of record” ignored and obfuscated during the AIDS crisis, The New York War Crimes has produced thirteen issues to date. The paper has printed the names of Gaza's martyrs, reprinted seminal historical texts, and published new essays, interviews, poems, and translations. Every issue can be read at newyorkwarcrimes.com.

Our next issue will be the longest yet, commemorating a year of genocide and a year of resistance. The issue will feature new prose, poetry, and photographers from contributors on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank alongside newly translated works by Refaat Alareer, Walid Daqqa, Mahdi Amel, and more. We will also publish statements from our movement partners, including National Students for Justice in Palestine, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel.

This will be the first issue to be printed and distributed in multiple cities across the U.S. Cities on our distribution list include Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, and Dallas. We are also hoping to distribute the paper in several European and South American cities.

The money raised for this issue will cover all printing costs and provide honorariums to contributors in Gaza and the West Bank. Any funds raised over our goal will be donated to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.
