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.

The fifteenth issue of the New York War Crimes is “The Healthcare Edition” and is being done in collaboration with Healthcare Workers for Palestine (HCW4P). Through this issue we hope to begin pushing the conversation past the baseline understanding of how bad the healthcare situation is in Gaza so that readers can understand the revolutionary role of healthcare workers in the resistance struggle. The issue will include interviews with medical workers in Gaza and in Lebanon, communiqués sent from doctors and nurses to HCW4P, archival materials — stories of revolutionary medicine from the Bronx to Gaza — and researched essays and analyses on the legacy of Palestinian pediatricians and the counterinsurgent role of Western medicine.

The money raised for this issue will cover all printing costs and provide honorariums to contributors in Gaza and the West Bank.
