Israel’s impunity is boosted by the US whitewash of Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor) – The Palestinian Authority’s refusal to hand over the bullet which killed Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was short lived. So was any hypothetical expectation of justice from an Israeli investigation supervised by the US. According to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), Israeli soldiers did not fire deliberately at Abu Akleh […]

72% of Palestinians view 2-State Option as non-Viable given Israeli land-grabs, and 23% want a Joint State

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – A recent poll by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research showed that there is significant disillusion with Palestinian politics. Arguably most notable is the opposition to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas’s decision-making, a further deterioration in his popularity as leader and, more importantly, a decrease in support […]

No, America, the UN Human Rights Council Report on Israeli Violations against Palestinians isn’t the Obstacle to Peace

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – The UN Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry recently released report on the violations in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) has infuriated Israel and sparked another statement from the US State Department on the so-called “one-sided biased approach that does nothing to advance the prospects for peace. The report […]

Even CNN concluded that Israeli Snipers Targeted Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh; But this Tactic is Routine

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – Israel’s public relations and diplomacy may be running into a few pitfalls, as US mainstream media outlet CNN explicitly called out Israel’s responsibility in the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. During a recent phone conversation with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid […]

( Middle East Monitor ) – “In the face of enemy violence, the Zionist answer has always been settlement, security and immigration,” Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett declared during a visit to the illegal Elkana settlement in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday. Days earlier, the Israeli rights organisation Peace Now announced that Israel had […]

International Silence over Israel’s media Repression is also an Attack on the Palestinian Narratives

International Silence over Israel’s media Repression is also an Attack on the Palestinian Narratives

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – While there is still much focus on the extrajudicial killing of Palestinian-American journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, calls for justice will remain resonant, at least presently. However, Israel has perfected its tactics of denial and impunity. The international community has not gone beyond its usual statements and Israel has already […]

World Bank observations on Palestine’s economy gloss over Israel’s Colonialism and Apartheid

World Bank observations on Palestine’s economy gloss over Israel’s Colonialism and Apartheid

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – Humanitarian aid, which has played a major role in stagnating Palestine and Palestinians, is one of the factors mentioned in the latest World Bank analysis of the dire economic situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, as reported by the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, Wafa. The report notes that, […]

Israeli Apartheid toward Palestinians isn’t Just a Human Rights Issue; it is about Colonialism

Israeli Apartheid toward Palestinians isn’t Just a Human Rights Issue; it is about Colonialism

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor) – Since 2021, criticism of Israel has focused heavily on its apartheid system and practices. The gradual awareness within the international community, since B’Tselem’s declaration, which was followed by that of Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, as well as other institutions, validated the Palestinian people’s earlier assertions of apartheid. Unfortunately, […]

Being There, Being Here: Palestinian Writings in the World

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – Maurice Ebileeni’s study of Palestinian literary narratives and the imaginings of the Palestinian homeland highlights the need to rethink both. Being There, Being Here: Palestinian Writings in the World takes the reader on a multifaceted journey through land, continents and languages as these intertwine with Palestinian authors’ perceptions, imaginings […]
