Palestinian Dialogue Network (paldf)

The Palestinian Dialogue Network is a Palestinian interactive news and discussion website, with the motto "the voice of Palestine to the world and the voice of the world to Palestine". Arabic Wikipedia describes it as Islamic in affiliation and linked to the Palestinian Information Center, which it calls an unofficial site of Hamas; the network itself says it takes no party position. ¹

The network was founded in 2001 by a group of young Palestinians. The article says it was among the fifty most visited sites in Palestine by Alexa's ranking, and that by 2014 it had become the leading Palestinian discussion network by its members and topics. ¹

The network says more than 34 of its members were killed by the Israeli army, a number that rose above fifty in the 2014 Gaza war, and publishes their biographies under their member names on a page of its own. ¹ These are the network's own figures.

Through its members and sections it has issued online magazines and bulletins, chief among them the magazine "Huna Filastin" ("Here is Palestine"), with an annual report for 1434 AH / 2013, science and technology bulletins, religious bulletins for Ramadan and Ashura, a bulletin on prisoners, reports on Palestinian refugees for the 65th anniversary of the Nakba, collected works of Palestinian writers and poets, and a book on Hamas from 1987 to 2012. ¹

The article describes the site as active; it has an article in the Arabic Wikipedia. ¹
