What Sijil Members Say

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

Adam Bakri

IPS is where I return to for the scholarship and documentation that give that struggle its context. It makes it possible to ground a story in something deeper than a headline, an assumption, or someone else's version of Palestine.

Sherene Seikaly

Since its founding in 1963, IPS has been one of the foremost intellectual, cultural, and political institutions of Palestine and the Palestinians. IPS remains the keeper of the record, the Sijil.

Noura Erakat

For more than five decades, JPS has made it possible to produce knowledge on Palestinian terms, rather than pander to dominant institutions for recognition. Its archive is a portal into Palestinian social and intellectual history: into the people and their desires, their debates and thought processes, their documents that are undeniable in their ability to narrate their truth, and the movements that have sustained Palestine and its people in their struggle for freedom.

Diana Buttu

JPS is the publication I reach for first when I am writing a paper, preparing an analysis, or recording a podcast. It gives me the legal background, historical context, and factual record I need to expose the system and explain its consequences.

Laura Albast

IPS has served as a space to preserve and document Palestine's collective memory, in service of her future. I have been, and continue to be, its student and I am thankful for its founders who built an intellectual home for Palestinians.

Abeerah Muhammad

IPS centers the people who have lived through the violence. It turns testimony into a record, and a record into a resource for action. That is nothing short of revolutionary. It gives non-Palestinian allies the tools to advocate with humility, knowledge, and a commitment to Palestinian leadership.

Shraddha Joshi

In a time when I felt that I was not making the impact I necessarily wanted to in academic spaces, I appreciated being able to contribute to real storytelling. I was especially grateful to edit pieces by authors from Gaza, as it felt really special to be entrusted with personal stories and support authors in showcasing their voice.

Dr. Loubna Qutami

Thank you for decades of producing knowledge informed by high standards of intellectual rigour and ethical political commitments to Palestinian liberation.
