‘Let’s Feed a Bedouin’: Roy Oz and Israel’s Outrageous Racism

Good News from Washington: AIPAC, Israel Losing to Progressive Democrats
While AIPAC is likely to continue using and improvising on old tactics to protect Israel’s interests at the US Congress, the long-dubbed ‘powerful lobby’ will unlikely be able to turn back time.

Tearing down the Idols of Colonialism: Why Tunisia, Africa Must Demand French Apology

PA Political Circus: Why Abbas Must Hand the Keys over to the PLO

Palestine Bleeds: Execution of Autistic Man is Not an Exception but the Norm
Inspired by the common struggle that ties them with their African-American brethren, Palestinians are now left only with their cries for justice: Palestinian lives matter, hoping, for once, the world may hear and echo their screams and, perhaps, do something.
‘Wolf Warrior Diplomacy’: Israel’s China Strategy in Peril
Between Washington’s precise demands to Israel to keep Beijing at bay, and the latter’s aggressive ‘wolf warrior’ diplomacy, Israel is facing a stark choice: remaining loyal to a fading superpower or diving into the uncharted waters of an emerging one.

Political Ambiguity or a Doomsday Weapon: Why Abbas Abandoned Oslo

How We Became Refugees: The Day My Grandfather Lost His Village in Palestine
It isn’t easy to construct a history that, only several decades ago, was, along with every standing building of that village, blown to smithereens with the very intent of erasing them from existence.

Palestinian refugees must not have to choose between forfeiting their legal and unalienable right in their own homeland and accepting a life of perpetual degradation and uncertainty.

Palestine’s Organic Intellectuals: ‘These Chains Will be Broken’ by Ramzy Baroud (Introduction)
