Nada Elia holds no punches. A principled activist and an accomplished academic, she writes with honesty and vigor. As I embarked on a worldwide speaking tour, an article she wrote two years ago was present in my mind. Entitled, “No More Mr. Nice Guy: White Male Israeli Activists Exploiting Palestine Solidarity”, the article details a […]

By Ramona Wadi “We just kept walking”. To listen to a statement repeated with both assertion and vagueness imparts a sudden realization of walking through terrain which bore lacerations of its own. The displacement enforced upon Palestinians during the Nakba is depicted from afar in this watercolor painting, with the intent to portray the contradictory […]

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 pin the blame […]
Zionist colonisation in Palestine began in earnest in 1881, when the leaders of the Zionist Movement in Europe eyed Arab Palestine as an exclusive home for Jews, paying little heed to the indigenous inhabitants of the land. These early ambitions culminated to a bloody, and well-orchestrated terror campaign in 1947-48, resulting in the creation of […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. Before we think of establishing a Palestinian state, he mused, “it is time we reassessed whether the modern model we have of sovereignty, and unfettered sovereignty, is applicable everywhere in […]
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 […]
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 set to […]

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 […]

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, […]
Hasta cierto punto, Aung San Suu Kyi es un falso profeta. Glorificada por Occidente durante muchos años, se convirtió en un “icono de la democracia” al oponerse a las mismas fuerzas militares que siguen hoy controlando su país, Birmania, en una época en que la coalición occidental dirigida por EEUU mantenía en aislamiento a Rangún […]
In a barrage of tweets from his New Jersey golf course, US President Donald Trump formulated his country’s foreign policy in the strangest way possible. Not only did he dismiss any possible diplomatic resolution to the nuclear standoff between the US and North Korea using social media, he publicly told his Secretary of State, Rex […]

Aung San Suu Kyi, “humanitaria e madhe”, ngjan ta ketë humbur integritetin teksa OKB-ja konfirmon më në fund se ajo çfarë po ngjet me muslimanët rohingia të Mjanmarit është spastrim etnik. Suu Kyi nuk ka patur madje kurajën morale për të thënë ca fjalë keqardhjeje për viktimat. Në vend të kësaj, ajo mund të thoshte […]
Aung San Suu Kyi ha svolto il suo ruolo come previsto, ottenendo l’appoggio della Destra e l’ammirazione della Sinistra. Per questo ha ottenuto il Premio Nobel per la Pace nel 1991: è entrata nel gruppo degli ‘Anziani’ ed è stata pubblicizzata da molti giornalisti e da vari governi come una figura eroica che si doveva […]
Ως ένα βαθμό η Aung San Suu Kyi είναι μια ψευδοπροφήτης. Η δύση την εκθείαζε για χρόνια, μετατράπηκε σε «δημοκρατικό ίνδαλμα» γιατί εναντιώθηκε στις ίδιες δυνάμεις στην χώρα της, την Βιρμανία, την ίδια περίοδο που η δυτική συμμαχία υπό τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες απομόνωναν την Ρανγκούν για την συμμαχία της με τη Κίνα.
