A look back at Humanize Palestine being featured on Mondoweiss last August! Palestinians are portrayed through the media as nothing more than a death toll—a number that is increasing daily. On social media, graphic images of their corpses circulate, reducing Palestinians to burned and mutilated bodies. We don’t know anything about them. Who are they? What is their family history? What were their hobbies? Did they like school? ... Websites such as Humanize Palestine seek to challenge these portrayals of Palestinian dehumanization, created by Western news sources and social media. When a photo is attached to a name, the person no longer becomes just a number. They are essentially revived, and their faces are engrained in our collective memory permanently.
