i know there’s hundreds of lists like this circulating regarding who to follow for news on Palestine but I decided to make my own. these are all Instagram accounts, with the obvious exception of the RNN telegram channel, but bear in mind several of these sources also post on Twitter/X and a few are even on Telegram - there is no dearth of information:
RAPID UPDATES & FOOTAGE ON BOTH GHAZZAH AND WEST BANK
RNN Telegram (if you are unsure/understandably wary about joining it officially, it is possible to view all the messages and footage without joining as long as you open it in the app; some attachments are too large to view in web browser alone but you can get some info from there too)
@/saleh_aljafarawi (instagram keeps deleting his account and i’ve lost track of how many he has but he is also @/saleh.jafarawi)
@/gazamedicvoices (translated 1st hand accounts from medics in ghazzah)
@/everydaypalestine (joint account of several palestinian journalists)
ON THE GROUND IN WEST BANK
@/aobaidaat (posts about both ghazzah & west bank)
@/mahmoud.photography97 (focused on Masafar Yatta where he lives - documenting the current ongoing demolition of palestinian homes and settler violence against palestinians)
MORE NEWS/INFO ON PALESTINE
@/aljazeera / @/aljazeeraenglish / @/ajplus
@/shaunking (the only non-palestinian on this list - he posts combined with many other sources, mainly palestinians, to amplify information)
@/untoldpalestine (stories and memorials written for the martyrs by their loved ones - i would encourage you all to read these because it’s all too easy to get bogged down into thinking of palestinians as numbers, especially with how rapidly they’re rising. they were all people who had their own aspirations and lives.)
@/translating_gaza (post english translations of videos & take requests on specific videos via DM)
PALESTINIAN DIASPORA VOICES
@/sbeih.jpg (great source, especially if you’re looking to learn some of the basics on palestine)
@/dr.ghassan.as (plastic surgeon who was working in ghazzah but recently returned to his family in britain, which is where he holds citizenship, and is still advocating for his people in Palestine)
