Thomas L. Friedman recently published an article in New York Times, titled “Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the State of Israel-Palestine” in which he insists that Netanyahu is the reason for the conflict. Do you agree with his point? Elsewhere in his article, Friedman names Moshe Yaalon as a decent man; is he really decent, considering how […]

Israel is now ‘ruled by the most extreme rightwing government in its history’ has grown from being an informed assessment to a dull cliché over the course of only a few years. […]
قال الكاتب والأكاديمي رمزي بارود إن حضور فلسطين في الإعلام العالمي مكثف لأن البروباغندا الإسرائيلية أيضا مكثفة وتستهدف تقديم فلسطين سلبيا، مما يستوجب على الفلسطينيين والعرب والمناصرين للقضية تقديم توليفة مغايرة. وأضاف بارود خلال لقائه ببرنامج “في العمق” حلقة (6/6/2016) أن الصهاينة بدؤوا بتأسيس روايتهم لاحتلال فلسطين منذ مئة عام، بينما انتبه الفلسطينيون إلى ذلك […]

In Arabic – Palestinian Author and journalist Dr. Ramzy Baroud addresses the question of the ‘Third Intifada’, its historical origins, political and social context, in addition to the issue of collective identity in modern Palestinian history.
The current Intifada in Palestine cannot be separated from the past or reduced to a simple term linked to a failed peace process. It is a rebellion which is rooted in a much deeper and larger context, and that has to be appreciated in its entirety. The defining event that led to his exile was […]
Israel wants to drag the resistance in Gaza to an open military confrontation to repeat the same scenario that preceded the war and massacres of last year, with the ultimate aim of quelling the intifada in the West Bank. This will also serve the interests of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah and various Arab regimes, […]

When my book ‘Searching Jenin’ was published soon after the Israeli massacre in the Jenin refugee camp in 2002, I was quizzed repeatedly by the media and many readers for conferring the word ‘massacre’ on what Israel has depicted as a legitimate battle against camp-based ‘terrorists.’ The interrogative questions were aimed at relocating the narrative […]
