By Ramzy Baroud On July 29, 4-year-old Muhammad Rabi’ Elayyan was reportedly summoned for interrogation by the Israeli police in occupied Jerusalem. The news, originally reported by the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, was later denied by the Israeli police, more than likely in an attempt to lessen the impact of the PR disaster that followed. The Israelis are not […]
By Ramzy Baroud Calls for the annexation of the Occupied West Bank are gaining momentum in both Tel Aviv and Washington. But Israel and its American allies should be careful what they wish for.

By Ramzy Baroud The game is afoot. Israel, believe it or not, is demanding that seven Arab countries and Iran should pay $250 billion as compensation for what it claims was the forceful expulsion of Jews from Arab countries during the late 1940s.

By Ramzy Baroud When Israeli troops stormed the house of Palestinian parliamentarian and lawyer Khalida Jarrar on April 2, 2015, she was engrossed in her research.

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, […]
(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 […]
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).
