The Massacre of Inn Din: How Rohingya Are Lynched and Held Responsible
By Ramzy Baroud “In my four years as High Commissioner, I have heard many preposterous claims. That claim is almost in its own category of absurdity. Have you no shame, sir, have you no shame?

Europe’s Iron Curtain: The Refugee Crisis is about to Worsen
By Ramzy Baroud A recent European Council summit in Brussels was meant to articulate a united policy on the burgeoning refugees and migrant crisis. Instead, it served to highlight the bitter divisions among various European countries.

Did Israel Inspire Trump’s Family Separation Policy?
By Ramzy Baroud This past May, the United States Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, announced the government’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy at US border crossings. It was a matter of weeks before the new policy began yielding tragic outcomes. Those attempting to unlawfully cross into the US were subject to federal criminal prosecution, while their children were […]
The International Community Should Not Stand by as Israel Abuses Palestinians
By Ramzy Baroud What is taking place in Palestine is not a ‘conflict’. We readily utilize the term but, in fact, the word ‘conflict’ is misleading.

More Than a Fight over Couscous: Why the Palestinian Narrative Must Be Embraced
By Ramzy Baroud As soon as Virgin Atlantic Airlines introduced a couscous-style salad “inspired by the flavours of Palestine”, a controversy ensued.

In the Zionist narrative, Palestine does not exist – nor […]
The Boomerang Effect: How Netanyahu Made Israel an American Issue, and Lost
By Ramzy Baroud Despite massive sums of money spent to channel public opinion in the United States in favor of Israel, unmistakable trends in opinion polls are attesting to the changing dynamics of Israel’s support among ordinary Americans.

The Trials of Africa and the Real Dr. King They Want Us to Forget
By Ramzy Baroud On January 15, millions of Americans commemorated Martin Luther King’s Day. His famous speech, ‘I Have a Dream’ was repeated numerous times in media outlets as a reminder of the evil of racism, which is being resurrected in a most pronounced way in American society. But that is only one version of […]
In Words and Deeds: The Genesis of Israeli Violence
By Ramzy Baroud Not a day passes without a prominent Israeli politician or intellectual making an outrageous statement against Palestinians.
