This introduction to Part 2 of the special issue on Palestinian Liberation in Education situates contemporary struggles for Palestine within broader histories of occupation, displacement, censorship, and resistance. Framed by the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, the issue highlights the ongoing efforts of educators, students, and scholars to challenge silencing and advance liberatory pedagogies in support of Palestinian self-determination. Part 2 of this issue is organized around three themes—solidarity, student perspectives, and engagement—and features contributions that examine anti-Zionist and decolonial pedagogies, Black–Palestinian solidarities, student activism and institutional repression, critical consciousness, human rights education, and Palestinian counterstorytelling. Together, these articles demonstrate how educational spaces serve as important sites of resistance, historical understanding, and collective action. Despite increasing attempts to restrict the teaching of Palestine, educators and students continue to develop scholarship and pedagogical practices that center Palestinian experiences, foster solidarity, and contribute to ongoing struggles for justice and liberation.
