More Than a Fight over Couscous: Why the Palestinian Narrative Must Be Embraced

Foreign Policy for Sale: Greece’s Dangerous Alliance with Israel
By Ramzy Baroud For a brief historical moment, Alexis Tsipras and his political party, Syriza, ignited hope that Greece could resurrect a long-dormant Leftist tide in Europe.

The New Cold War is Happening in Africa
By Ramzy Baroud There is a new Cold War that is brewing and the African continent is slated to be its epic center.

This fact has been confirmed once […]
‘Whitewashing’ Genocide in Myanmar
By Ramzy Baroud Although the genocide of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar has gathered greater media attention in recent months, there is no indication that the international community is prepared to act in any meaningful way, thus leaving hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees stranded in border camps between Myanmar and Bangladesh. While top United […]
The Trials of Africa and the Real Dr. King They Want Us to Forget
By Ramzy Baroud On January 15, millions of Americans commemorated Martin Luther King’s Day.

But that is only one version of […]
In Words and Deeds: The Genesis of Israeli Violence
By Ramzy Baroud Not a day passes without a prominent Israeli politician or intellectual making an outrageous statement against Palestinians.

‘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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]
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.

‘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.
