In March 2024, the board of Just World Educational concluded that the broad, dishonest, and often virulent campaign of demonization that Israel and Western powers had long maintained against Hamas constituted a serious obstacle in the path of the attainment of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the ending-- after 57 years-- of Israel's belligerent military occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. The board therefore decided as a matter of urgency to launch a broad campaign to educate the global Anglophone public about the history, political development, and goals of the Hamas movement.

As part of this project, in May 2024 Just World Ed's president Helena Cobban and board member Rami G. Khouri presented a series of five weekly online briefings, in which they explored and evaluated the history, record, and goals of the movement with a carefully chosen group of experts.

This Online Learning Hub presents the multimedia records of these conversations along with a select but still-growing collection of links to other available resources that we consider informative and helpful. We are also planning to do the following:

• reorganize the "resources" section(s) of this  Learning Hub to make them optimally useful to researchers and interested individuals;
• produce a written digest or digests of key portions of the information we have gathered here, whether in the form of a printed report or of a series of factsheets, or both;
• explore the possibility of producing a 35- to 40-minute "mix tape" of some of the most educational portions of our video conversations.

Of course, all such projects will require both time and money. If you would like to provide financial support for this project, you can  find out how to do so by mail or securely online, by clicking here. If you'd like to support the project by volunteering some help in text-editing, video editing, or outreach efforts, please let us know!

Thank you.
