Ramzy Baroud in TeleSUR – Three Years After the War: Gaza Youth Speak Out
“At bedtime, I am afraid to turn the lights off. I am not a coward, it is just that I worry that this bulb hanging from the ceiling is the last light that remains (shining) in my life.” Soon after he penned these words, Moath Aljah, a young artist from a Gaza refugee camp, passed […]
Ramzy Baroud in Al Arabiya – Striking down the First Amendment: Israel lobby attacks BDS
The US Congress, cheered on by the powerful Israeli lobby in Washington, is waging a war on Palestinians and their supporters.

The build-up to this war began when the Israel lobby group, the American Israel Public Affairs […]
Ramzy Baroud en Monitor de Oriente (Traducción): El Pueblo de Al-Araqeeb, los Palestinos Beduinos Que Se Han Negado a Rendirse hasta 116 Veces
Si la destrucción repetida del pueblo no es más que una muestra indicativa de la terca insistencia de Israel en arrancar a los beduinos de Palestina, la reiterada reconstrucción es indicativa de la tenacidad de la comunidad beduina de Palestina. Pero Al-Araqeeb sólo es un símbolo de esa lucha histórica. No sería exagerado afirmar que […]
Baroud in Al Jazeera – The Israel Lobby vs the First Amendment
The adage goes, “Be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it.” Indeed, this is the very predicament in which the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) could soon find itself. In its obsessive efforts to defeat the Palestinian-led boycott movement, AIPAC will soon force the revisitation of a long-dormant debate […]

Baroud in MEMO: War on BDS is Now War on American Democracy
There is something immoral in Washington D.C., and its consequences can be dire for many people, particularly for the health of US democracy. The US government is declaring war on the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The fight to defeat BDS has been ongoing for several years, but most notably since 2014. Since […]
Ramzy Baroud in Middle East Monitor – The Story behind the Jerusalem Attack
Empowered by the Trump administration and assured by Haley’s tactics at the UN, Netanyahu feels that his dream of subduing East Jerusalem is being realized. The price of Netanyahu’s dream, however, is likely to be costly. On the day of the attack, several Palestinians were killed in various parts of the West Bank and a […]
Ramzy Baroud in Al Arabiya – Six months later: How different is the Trump administration?
It has been nearly six months since Donald Trump took office as the 45th President of the United States.

Ramzy Baroud en Monitor de Oriente (Traducción): Empujando a Gaza al Suicidio: las Políticas de la Humillación.

Baroud in Middle East Monitor, Fighting the Wrong Enemy: Why Americans Hate Muslims
Two officers sought me from within a crowd at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. They seemed to know who I was. They asked me to follow them, and I obliged. Being of Arab background, often renders one’s citizenship almost irrelevant. In a back room, where other foreigners, mainly Muslims, were holed for ‘added security’, I was […]
Baroud in Gulf News: Nikki Haley is Israel’s ‘Bully’ at the UN
This is all an outcome of the Haley doctrine. Her arrival at the UN has ignited a US-Israeli hate fest, not only targeting UN member states, but also international law and everything that the UN has stood for over the decades. The US has blindly supported Israel at the UN throughout the years, but Haley’s […]
Al Jazeera – Baroud on Gaza’s ‘Game of Thrones’: A fight to defeat resistance
To think that Palestinian “leaders” are actually involved in tightening or manipulating the siege to exact political concessions from one another is dismaying. While Israel is invested in maintaining the Palestinian rift, Palestinians are blinded by pitiful personal interests and worthless “control” over occupied land. Between Israel’s dismissal of international calls to end the siege […]
« Game of Thrones » à Gaza : comment mieux défaire la résistance à l’occupation…
Alors qu’Israël a tout intérêt à maintenir la division palestinienne, les Palestiniens sont aveuglés par des intérêts personnels pitoyables et un « contrôle » sans signification réelle sur des terres occupées.

In the early months of 1967, Soviet intelligence confirmed Syria’s and Egypt’s own estimation that Israel was preparing for a major attack on Syria.

Al Jazeera Center for Studies: Baroud on Trump’s ‘No Roosevelt Moment’
Abstract For nearly 25 years, several US presidents tried to redefine American relations with the Middle East, but they rarely managed to stave off the palpable decline of the US role in shaping that strategic region.

Árabes y judíos deben desafiar juntos al pasado oficial de Israel
Ramzy Baroud Israel ha recurrido principalmente a tres estrategias para reprimir las demandas de Palestina de justicia y derechos humanos, incluido el derecho al retorno de los refugiados. Una de ellas es reescribir la historia; otra intentar distraer la atención de las realidades presentes; y la tercera intenta reclamar la historia palestina como una versión […]
Cuando el Daesh sea por fin derrotado: ¿quién llenará el vacío intelectual en el mundo árabe?
Ramzy Baroud La región de Michel Aflaq, George Habash, Rashid Al-Ghannouchi, Edward Said y muchos otros ha marginado a sus intelectuales. Los visionarios árabes han sido cooptados por los exuberantes fondos asignados a la propaganda sectaria, silenciados por temor al castigo, o simplemente son incapaces de articular una visión colectiva que trascienda sus sectas, religiones […]

Baroud in Al Jazeera: How America Became Pro-Israel
By Ramzy Baroud Mere days after Donald Trump won the US presidential election, American Zionists moved quickly to ensure that Israeli interests were fully guarded by the new administration.

Baroud on Banksy’s Hotel in Bethlehem: Ma’an Interview
By Jaclynn Ashly and Reem Alqam – Bethlehem (Maan) Israel’s infamous separation wall in the occupied West Bank, while cutting off Palestinians from their lands and religious sites, isolating communities, and eroding the livelihood of scores of Palestinians along its route, has become an unlikely breeding ground for tourism. Adjacent to the graffiti-stained separation wall […]

By Ramzy Baroud – Al Jazeera Excerpts ..
