‘Race Law’ Takes Jerusalem a Step Closer to Being a Jewish-Only City

Year in Review: Will 2018 Usher in a New Palestinian Strategy?
By Ramzy Baroud 2017 will be remembered as the year that the so-called ‘peace process’, at least in its American formulation, has ended.

Palestine: It Is Time for a New Beginning
By Ramzy Baroud Now that the American mask has completely fallen, Palestinians require an urgent rethink in their own political priorities, alliances and national liberation strategy.

For Palestinians, Zionism only Means One Thing
By Ramzy Baroud On 12 December, the British government officially adopted a new definition of anti-Semitism that includes legitimate criticism of Israel.

It is a rather dangerous move which will […]
Hold Your Applause, Fatah, the Palestinian Body Politic is Rotten to the Core
By Ramzy Baroud In July 2003, the then Palestinian Authority Chairman, Yasser Arafat, described Mahmoud Abbas as a “traitor” who “betrayed the interests of the Palestinian People.” Arafat loathed Abbas to the very end.

Shimon Peres, An Israeli Brand without Substance
By Ramzy Baroud Former Israeli Prime Minister and President, Shimon Peres, was a very successful brand.

Ban Ki-moon’s Legacy in Palestine: Failure in Words and Deeds
By Ramzy Baroud Ban Ki-moon’s second term as UN secretary-general is ending this December, he was the most ideal man for the job as far as the United States and its allies are concerned.

The Native American, the Palestinian: A Spirited Fight for Justice
By Ramzy Baroud Thousands of Native Americans resurrected the fighting spirit of their forefathers as they stood in unprecedented unity to contest an oil company’s desecration of their sacred land in North Dakota.

Is Israel Pushing for a Palestinian Civil War?
By Ramzy Baroud Division within Palestinian society has reached unprecedented levels, becoming a major hurdle on the path of any unified strategy to end Israel’s violent occupation or to rally Palestinians behind a single objective. Newly-appointed Israeli ultra-nationalist Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman understands this too well. His tactic since his ascension to office last May is centered […]

‘Activism’ and Its Consequences: Syrian Refugees Are Not Subjects for a Social Media Gallery
By Ramzy Baroud The Italian ‘activist’ was keen on that photo, as if her social media activism career was dependent on it. As if the misery of the poor Syrian child was not palpable enough in his dejected face and his rash-infested skin, she wanted to define a point of absolute misery for a perfect […]
