Ramzy Baroud Launches New Digital Platform Centered on Gaza, People’s History
Dr. Ramzy Baroud, a Palestinian journalist, internationally syndicated columnist, and editor of The Palestine Chronicle, has officially launched a new digital platform bringing together decades of his work on Palestine, popular struggle, and people-centered history.
The website serves as a centralized, searchable archive of Baroud’s writings, media appearances, and public scholarship, rooted in the concept of ‘history from below’, or people’s history, and focused on narratives systematically excluded from mainstream geopolitical discourse.
Designed for students, researchers, journalists, and activists, the platform bridges academic history with lived experience and collective memory.
Visitors can access an extensive collection of Baroud’s articles published in leading international outlets, alongside detailed information on his published books, including The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story and My Father Was a Freedom Fighter. The site also highlights his upcoming books, Before the Flood and Gaza Rising, co-written with Israeli historian Ilan Pappé.
In addition, the platform features a curated selection of video interviews, podcasts, lectures, and a dedicated portal for speaking engagements and media inquiries, facilitating direct engagement with Baroud’s ongoing work.
To learn more, please visit the new platform and make sure that you follow Baroud on his social media channels.

Ordinary Palestinians have rarely narrated their own history. In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed author Ramzy Baroud draws on dozens of interviews to produce vivid, intimate and beautifully written accounts of Palestinian lives – in villages, refugee camps, prisons and cities, in the lands of their ancestors and in exile. Baroud’s empathetic and lyrical approach reveals new human dimensions of the Palestinian saga, telling it as it has never before been told.

أبي ذلك المناضل، قصة غزة التي لم تُروَ بعد
ليس التاريخ ما يكتبه المنتصرون، فهؤلاء يوظفون قوة انتصارهم لفرض روايتهم عمّا يجب أن يكون التاريخ. هذه الحقيقة أدركها رمزي بارود، فتحدّى السردية الغربية الشائعة عن غزة وفلسطين، تلك التي كتبها الغزاة، وترك مهمة الكتابة للضحايا أنفسهم. فجاءت الرواية واقعية وصادقة، مشبعة بالكارثة والبطولة معاً. إنها شهادة عن حياة تُعاش على خطوط المواجهة، حيث العنف ليس حدثاً عابراً بل واقعاً دائماً يطبع الوجود الفلسطيني.
لم يخترع الكاتب تاريخاً، بل استمده من حياته العائلية الفلسطينية، ومن سيرة والده الذي اقتُلع من قريته إلى مخيم لجوء، فحمل السلاح في مواجهة الاحتلال، وربّى أسرة وسط القصف والتشريد. لم يكتب كتابه للعرب، بل للغربيين بلغتهم، مخاطباً بيئة احتضنت المشروع الصهيوني وشرّعت جرائمه. ورغم إدراكه لقدرة إسرائيل العسكرية على تغيير الجغرافيا، بقي مؤمناً بأن إرادة الفلسطينيين هي التي تصنع التاريخ، وأن نضال غزة وأهلها لن يضيع سدى.
Résistant en Palestine: Une histoire vraie de Gaza

Son livre raconte la fascinante histoire de son père : chassé de son village et parqué dans un camp de réfugiés, il a courageusement combattu l’occupation tout en élevant sa famille.
Ce récit vivant et sans concession nous révèle des êtres humains complexes qui font de la Bande de Gaza bien plus qu’un simple territoire contesté.
