The persistence of Palestinians and the massive solidarity they have obtained from countries throughout the Global South, eventually paid off.
The success, and the sacrifices of Gaza journalists should serve as a model for journalists and journalism around the world.
This reductionist thinking is now being applied to Gaza where every historical reference is intentionally pushed aside.
Despite mass arrests, starting in Columbia, and the direct violence against peaceful protesters everywhere, the movement has only grown stronger.

Making Kahane Proud: Ben-Gvir is Playing the Long Game
The latest killing of the internationals in Gaza was done to serve the same goal: ensuring that no aid distribution mechanism is allowed.
All of Netanyahu’s political shenanigans, which served him well in the past, would fall short from allowing him to return to power.
Six months into Israel’s devastating war on Gaza, the United Nations Security Council has finally passed a resolution demanding a ceasefire. The United States’s abstention marks a pivotal moment in Israel’s increasing international isolation. In the Israeli media, the opposition to the UN vote is near-unanimous and unsurprising. More striking is the lack of interest […]
Though many of Israel’s traditional allies in the west are openly disowning its behavior in Gaza, weapons continue to flow.
By Ramzy Baroud When the foreign policy of a country as large and significant as the United States is governed by a case of cognitive dissonance, terrible things happen. These terrible things are, in fact, already taking place in the Gaza Strip, where well over 100,000 people have been killed, wounded or are missing, and an outright […]
If Gaza has not given up, why should we? Even giving up is a privilege. Gaza does not have that privilege nor should we grant it to ourselves.
There will be consequences to all of this, and the coming years shall prove that the crisis in international legitimacy, resulting from the abuse of power, will hardly be rectified with superficial changes and reforms.
The critical mass for meaningful solidarity has finally been achieved, signaling that, once more, Palestinians have imposed themselves as the guardians of their own struggle.
Indeed, it is now time to turn words into actions, especially when thousands of children are being killed for no fault of their own but for being born Palestinian.
All of this – the language of genocide, the genocide itself and the threats of committing a greater genocide – is rooted in Zionism.
It is interesting how the colonizers and the colonized continue to build relations and solidarity around the same old principles. The Global South is, again, rising in solidarity with the Palestinians, while the North, with a few exceptions, continues to support Israeli oppression.
If Borrell truly wishes to develop a political backbone, he should fully back international law, and advocate for the use of the EU’s massive economic leverage to put pressure on Israel to end its war and military occupation of Palestine.
This genocidal war continues to create opportunities for religious Zionism to acquire new followers, and to lay deeper roots within Israel’s political establishment.
He stood firmly on the side of oppressed people, spoke strongly against the injustices meted out by the powerful, and uncompromisingly defended free speech whenever it is threatened.
By Ramzy Baroud Law number one in the ‘law of holes’, is that “if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Law number two, “if you are not digging, you are still in a hole”. These adages sum up Israel’s ongoing political, military and strategic crises, 100 days following the start of the war […]
Not only is Israel now assuming the role of the mass killer but the rest of the Western world continues to play the role assigned to them in this historical tragedia.
Netanyahu must be restrained. If not, the Israeli genocide in Gaza will multiply into other genocides throughout the Middle East.
“In the end, love will return in a different way,” Kafka wrote. He is right. But hate, too, tends to return as well, manifesting itself in myriad ways.
While Israel is determined to end Palestinian Resistance, the Palestinian people’s determination to win their freedom is far greater.
A poem to Gaza’s little angels – in heaven, and here on earth.
Time will tell whether Russia will be able to stake a claim and help define a new Middle East in the post-Gaza war.
For this vicious cycle to break, Palestine must, once more, become an issue that concerns all Arabs, the whole region.
What is crystal clear is that the fundamental relationship between the Israeli occupation and occupied Palestinians after October 7, 2023, is likely to be altered, and permanently so.
