What Sijil Members Say

Voices from the community sustaining Palestinian research, publishing, and archives — one membership at a time.

Layla Haddad

Sijil means I'm not just reading about Palestinian history, I'm helping make sure it gets written down and kept safe. Knowing my monthly contribution goes straight toward archiving and research makes it feel real in a way a one-time donation never did.

Omar Nasser

I've followed IPS's publishing for years, and becoming a Sijil member finally felt like the right way to give back. It's a small monthly amount, but knowing it sustains the Journal of Palestine Studies and the archive work makes it feel substantial.

Dana Khalil

What I appreciate most is the transparency. I know exactly what my membership supports: research, publishing, and the archives. In a moment when Palestinian narratives are under constant pressure, that record-keeping matters more than ever.

Yusuf Barakat

Sijil gives the next generation of Palestinian researchers and writers room to work. That's exactly the kind of long-term, unglamorous support that keeps an institution like IPS running between the headlines.

Rana Odeh

I joined Sijil after using the IPS archives for my own research and realizing how much work goes into maintaining them. Monthly membership felt like the natural next step, supporting the infrastructure that made my own work possible.
