‘Race Law’ Takes Jerusalem a Step Closer to Being a Jewish-Only City
By Ramzy Baroud The Israeli government is planning a series of measures aimed at fully denying Palestinians their legal rights in Jerusalem and precluding any future peace settlement based on sharing the city between Israel and a future Palestinian state. One of the most aggressive measures to date is a bill that was approved by […]
Shadow Armies: The Unseen, but Real US War in Africa
By Ramzy Baroud There is a real – but largely concealed – war which is taking place throughout the African continent. It involves the United States, an invigorated Russia and a rising China. The outcome of the war is likely to define the future of the continent and its global outlook. It is easy to […]

Year in Review: Will 2018 Usher in a New Palestinian Strategy?
By Ramzy Baroud 2017 will be remembered as the year that the so-called ‘peace process’, at least in its American formulation, has ended. And with its demise, a political framework that has served as the foundation for US foreign policy in the Middle East has also collapsed. The Palestinian leadership and its Arab and international […]
Whitewashing: The Media’s Two Narratives on Terrorism
By Ramzy Baroud Within hours after Akayed Ullah, a Bangladeshi immigrant, allegedly detonated a pipe bomb in New York City on December 11, severely injuring himself and wounding four others, a most comprehensive official and media narrative emerged. The formulation of the narrative concerning Ullah’s motives, radicalization and assumed hate for the US was so […]

Palestine: It Is Time for a New Beginning
By Ramzy Baroud Now that the American mask has completely fallen, Palestinians require an urgent rethink in their own political priorities, alliances and national liberation strategy. Business should not go on as usual after US President Donald Trump accepted Israel’s definition of Jerusalem as its capital, thus violating the overwhelming international consensus on the matter. […]
The ‘Last Martyr’: Who Killed My Neighbor, Kamal Al-Assar?
By Ramzy Baroud When I learned of the death of Kamal Al-Assar a few years ago, I was baffled. He was only in his 40s. I remember him in his prime, a young rebel, leading the neighborhood youth, armed with rocks and slingshots, in a hopeless battle against the Israeli army. Understandably, we lost, but […]
Radio: Dr. Ramzy Baroud unpacking Trump’s Recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital
President Trump just officially declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel, upending decades of US diplomacy and threatening to spark massive unrest across the Muslim world. Speaking in the White House’s Diplomatic Reception Room, Trump also announced his plan to eventually relocate the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and begin the difficult […]
Baroud in TRT: Trump’s Move to recognise Israel could overturn US Role in the Region
When then Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump delivered his famous speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in March 2016, he revealed the type of politician he truly is. By Washington’s standards, he was a “good politician”, devoid of any values. In his speech he made many promises to Israel. The large crowd […]
Trump’s Move on Jerusalem: Is this the End of US Diplomacy in the Middle East?
By Ramzy Baroud Finally, US President Donald Trump pulled the plug. The so-called peace process, two-state solution, ‘land-for-peace formula’ and all the other tired clichés have been long dead and decomposing. But Trump’s announcement on Wednesday to officially recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel has also laid to rest the illusion that the US was […]
‘Say the Word’: What the Rohingya Struggle is Really About
By Ramzy Baroud Pope Francis lost a historical opportunity to truly set his legacy apart from previous Popes. Alas, for him, too, political expediency trumped all else. In his visit to Burma (Myanmar) on November 27, he refrained from using the word “Rohingya.” But what’s in a name? In our frenzied attempts at understanding and articulating the […]
Decades of US Diplomacy Has Failed: Why the US Wants to Shut the PLO Office
By Ramzy Baroud On November 18, just days before the 50th anniversary of United Nations Resolution 242, the US State Department took its first step towards severing its ties with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). The timing of this decision could not be any more profound. The first formal contact between the US and the […]
Baroud in Rebelión (traducido): 70 años de promesas rotas. La historia no contada del plan de partición
En una charla reciente ante el grupo de expertos de Chatham House en Londres, el primer ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu abordó el tema de un Estado palestino desde una perspectiva intelectual. Antes de que pensemos en establecer un Estado palestino, reflexionó, “es hora de que reevaluemos si el modelo moderno que tenemos de soberanía y […]
Baroud in Al Arabiya: Israeli hands in the American ‘fear industry’
There are about 70 massive walls erected all across the world with the single aim of separating countries and communities from each other. It is all done under the pretext of ‘security’, with the real intention often quite the opposite. Several of these walls are built or are in the process of being constructed by […]
70 Years of Broken Promises: The Untold Story of the Partition Plan
By Ramzy Baroud In a recent talk before Chatham House think-tank in London, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, approached the issue of a Palestinian state from an intellectual perspective.

In a recent talk before Chatham House think-tank in London, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, approached the issue of a Palestinian state from an intellectual perspective.

Ramzy Baroud in Al Jazeera: How a missing ‘the’ enabled Israeli occupation
When the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 2334 in December 2016, Israeli leaders seethed. Their fury was duly understood to stem from what they perceived as an unprecedented betrayal by the United States. But that was not it at all, since Resolution 2334 – which asserted that Israeli settlements have no legal validity and […]
The Trials of Benjamin Netanyahu: Corruption in Israel is Not Just an Israeli Issue
By Ramzy Baroud Whether the string of scandals, now hounding Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, lead to his sacking or not, it matters little. Though nearly half of Israelis polled last July – well before the scandals took a much dirtier turn – believe that Netanyahu is corrupt, a majority of Israelis said that they […]
The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story – Book Review
Reviewed by Vacy Vlazna (Ramzy Baroud. The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story. London: Pluto Press, 2018. Pre-order now) Dr. Ramzy Baroud’s new book, The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story is described simplistically as ‘non-fictional narrative of modern Palestinian history.’ It is much, much more; for us readers, it is an intimate encounter, chapter by chapter, […]
‘Creeping Annexation’: Why Israel Shelved the ‘Greater Jerusalem Law’
By Ramzy Baroud The postponing of an Israeli Knesset bill that would have annexed major illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank to the Jerusalem municipality is the result of behind-the-scenes US and, possibly, European pressure. But the story of the so-called “Greater Jerusalem law” does not end there. Israel wants to maintain an absolute demographic […]
How Britain Became an Obstacle to Peace
By Ramzy Baroud Arthur James Balfour’s wrote 84 words that sealed the fate of the Palestinian people by ultimately displacing most of them from their historical homeland to live in permanent exile. “His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best […]
Walls and Militarized Police: How Israel Is Exporting Its Occupation to the United States
By Ramzy Baroud Israeli footprints are becoming more apparent in the US security apparatus. Such a fact does not bode well for ordinary Americans. US Senate Bill S.720 should have been a wake-up call. The Bill, drafted by the Israel lobby group, American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), as part of its “2017 Lobbying Agenda” is […]

Baroud in Washington Report on Middle East Affair: The Balfour Declaration Destroyed Palestine, Not the Palestinian People
SOME PROMISES ARE made and kept; others disavowed. But the “promise” made by Arthur James Balfour in what became known as the “Balfour Declaration” to the leaders of the Zionist Jewish community in Britain one hundred years ago was only honored in part: it established a state for the Jews and attempted to destroy the […]

Hamas and Fatah Must Transform to Speak on behalf of Palestinians
By Ramzy Baroud The reconciliation agreement signed between rival Palestinian parties, Hamas and Fatah, in Cairo on October 12 was not a national unity accord – at least, not yet. For the latter to be achieved, the agreement would have to make the interests of the Palestinian people a priority, above factional agendas. The leadership […]
Ramzy Baroud (Tradotto per NenaNews): Cosa c’è dietro l’accordo Fatah-Hamas
L’entusiasmo mostrato dall’Egitto nel mediare tra Hamas e Fatah, le fazioni palestinesi in lotta tra loro, non è il frutto di un’improvvisa presa di coscienza. Il Cairo, infatti, non ha mai esitato a sfruttare le divisioni tra i palestinesi con conseguenze a volte devastanti, e a tenere chiuso il valico di Rafah. L’azione dell’Egitto è, […]
