Respond’s Arabic team is working around the clock in response to the genocidal siege on Gaza.

We are translating humanitarian parole applications for Palestinians from Gaza. We are also translating legal resources for detainees incarcerated in Israeli prisons; interpreting Know Your Rights sessions for communities protesting across the US and Europe; translating lawsuits seeking prosecution for Israel's war crimes; and translating for journalists from Gaza. 

Our Arabic team has also mobilized a grassroots watchdog effort to catch Western media's mistranslations in coverage of Gaza. Our recent intervention into a racist mistranslation of Arabic testimony about abuse in Israeli prisons by the BBC was viewed 12 million times and led to the BBC issuing a formal correction

All of this work is led by Palestinian and Arab translators – who were already inundated with casework responding to recent environmental catastrophes in Libya, Morocco, and Syria-Turkiye We need your support so they can earn dignified wages and sustain this critical work!
