Media Cover-up: Shielding Israel is a Matter of Policy
By Ramzy Baroud The term ‘media bias’ does not do justice to the western corporate media’s relationship with Israel and Palestine. The relationship is, indeed, far more profound than mere partiality.

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.

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.

Foreign Policy for Sale: Greece’s Dangerous Alliance with Israel
By Ramzy Baroud For a brief historical moment, Alexis Tsipras and his political party, Syriza, ignited hope that Greece could resurrect a long-dormant Leftist tide in Europe.
