The Tide Is Turning: Israel Is Losing on Two War Fronts
By Ramzy Baroud The botched Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip on 12 November is delineating Tel Aviv’s failure to utilize its army as a tool to achieve Palestinian political concessions. Now that Palestinian popular resistance has gone global through the exponential rise and growing success of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement, […]
It Is a New Era, but China’s Balancing Act Will Fail in the Middle East
By Ramzy Baroud Although ties between Washington and Tel Aviv are stronger than ever, Israeli leaders are aware of a vastly changing political landscape. The US’ political turmoil and the global power realignment – which is on full display in the Middle East – indicate that a new era is, indeed, in the making. Unsurprisingly, […]
The UN ‘Sheriff’: Nikki Haley Elevated Israel, Damaged US Standing
By Ramzy Baroud US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, has made her post a “more glamorous” position than her predecessors – as President Donald Trump described Haley’s 2-year term at the UN, following her resignation announcement. We may never know the nature of Haley’s purported ‘glamour’ at the UN, but we certainly know that, […]
Ramzy Baroud (Translated): Cruauté et Cynisme : les Raisons de la Guerre des États-Unis et d’Israël contre l’UNRWA
(Translated for ChroniquePalestine.com) En conséquence, l’UNRWA traverse sa pire crise financière. Le déficit dans son budget est estimé à environ 217 millions de dollars et augmente rapidement. En plus des catastrophes à venir qu’entraîneraient la suppression des services et de l’aide humanitaire si nécessaires aux cinq millions de réfugiés enregistrés auprès de l’UNRWA, l’impact de […]
Ramzy Baroud (Translated) – Fine di una Egemonia: l’ONU Deve Riflettere il Mutato Assetto Mondiale
(Traduzione di Leopoldo Salmaso) C’è una spiegazione razionale del perché India e Brasile, due stati molto popolati e con grandi e crescenti economie, non sono membri permanenti del Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite (UNSC). Il Consiglio – composto da cinque membri permanenti e dieci a rotazione – fu progettato per riflettere l’ordine mondiale partorito […]
End of Hegemony: UN Must Reflect Changing World Order
By Ramzy Baroud There is a rational explanation of why India and Brazil, two countries with vast populations and significant and growing economies, are not permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The Council – made up of 5 permanent and ten rotating members – was designed to reflect a world order that […]
Gaza without Cancer Medicine as Haley Blames Arabs for Washington’s Sins
By Ramzy Baroud On Sunday, August 12, news from Gaza was distressing: The Ministry of Health announced that it would no longer be able to treat cancer patients in the Israel-besieged Strip. “Colon and lung cancer, as well as lymphoma patients, cannot be provided with the necessary therapy now,” said Dr. Mohammed Abu Silmiya, director […]
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. Considering the gravity of the matter, Europe’s self-serving policies are set to worsen an already tragic situation. True, several […]
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. It equates oppressed Palestinians with Israel, a military power that stands in violation of numerous United Nations Resolutions. It is these ambiguous terminologies that allow the likes of United […]
