Israeli Folly: How Netanyahu Cemented the Hezbollah-Hamas-Iran Alliance
By Ramzy Baroud To serve his limited political agenda, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, may have unwittingly unified various resistance groups in the Middle East after years of separation and discord. On August 24-25, Netanyahu ordered the Israeli army to strike several targets of parties he perceives to be allies of Iran in the region. The unprecedented […]
Bassam Shakaa: The Making of a Palestinian ‘Organic Intellectual’
By Ramzy Baroud It would be unfair to claim that Palestine has not produced great leaders. It has, and Bassam Shakaa, the former Mayor of Nablus, who passed away on 22 July at the age of 89, was living proof of this. The supposed deficit in good Palestinian leadership can be attributed to the fact […]
Africa and Palestine: A Noble Legacy that Must Never Be Betrayed
By Ramzy Baroud Europe’s “Scramble for Africa” began in earnest in 1881, but never ended.

Netanyahu’s Predicament: The Era of Easy Wars is over
By Ramzy Baroud When Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered his army to carry out a limited operation in the besieged Gaza Strip on November 12, he certainly did not anticipate that his military adventure would destabilize his government and threaten the very survival of his right-wing coalition. But it did, far more than the […]
Baroud in Al Jazeera: Ahed Tamimi and the Power of Palestinian Women

Rim Banna and the Cultural War that Palestinians Must Win
By Ramzy Baroud Rim Banna passed away at the age of 51. Her death on March 24, after a decade-long battle with cancer, brought grief to Palestinians everywhere.
