Will the US Stand up to Israeli Theft of Palestinian East Jerusalem?

Will the US Stand up to Israeli Theft of Palestinian East Jerusalem?

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – Jerusalem is once again in the diplomatic crosshairs over US President Joe Biden’s intention to reopen the American Consulate in Jerusalem, which was closed by the Trump Administration in 2019. According to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, reopening the consulate is “an important way for our country to […]

Israel’s colonial violence and international humanitarian aid

Israel’s colonial violence and international humanitarian aid

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – Whenever Israel bombs Gaza, donor countries are expected to raid their treasuries and manage the resultant humanitarian crisis. The aftermath of the latest colonial aggression against the enclave is no different. On one hand, the reconstruction of Gaza will probably follow previous mechanisms in which the UN plays a […]

How the US is shielding Israel from Apartheid charges and itself from complicity charges

How the US is shielding Israel from Apartheid charges and itself from complicity charges

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor) – The Palestinians mentioned apartheid in connection with Israel long before B’Tselem used the description. Now it is the turn of Human Rights Watch (HRW) to — rightfully, if belatedly — accuse Israel of apartheid in its latest report titled A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and […]

The Biden administration talks Equality and 2 States, but are Occupied Palestinians any Less Oppressed?

The Biden administration talks Equality and 2 States, but are Occupied Palestinians any Less Oppressed?

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – US President Joe Biden may be returning the country to the two-state paradigm, but the inequalities between Israelis and Palestinians are becoming more prominent with each statement uttered by officials. When the US speaks of the two-state compromise, it is doing so with complete recognition of the fact that […]

The Biden Administration is back to calling Palestinians ‘Occupied,’ but can’t see them being Colonized

The Biden Administration is back to calling Palestinians ‘Occupied,’ but can’t see them being Colonized

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor) – In another move that shows US President Joe Biden is navigating between the Trump administration’s era and the return to the two-state politics, the US State Department’s 2020 Country Reports on Human Rights presented two facets of the current administration’s policy. The title reads, as it did during former US […]

Biden is Reemphasizing Human Rights in Foreign Policy, Except for Palestinians

Biden is Reemphasizing Human Rights in Foreign Policy, Except for Palestinians

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – Israel is reportedly concerned that US President Joe Biden will prioritise human rights over traditional allegiances in the Middle East. With a policy shift that departs from the Trump administration’s belligerence, Biden is attempting to bring Washington in line with the human rights rhetoric favoured within the international arena, […]

Israel/ Palestine
A return to the two-state politics without a historical reckoning spells loss for Palestinians

A return to the two-state politics without a historical reckoning spells loss for Palestinians

Ramona Wadi

(Middle East Monitor ) – US President Joe Biden announced the restoring of diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority and the resumption of humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people, in a bid to bring the country back to international consensus after the Trump administration pursued a different form of diplomatic relations which culminated in the […]

Israeli infrastructure projects aid the de facto annexation of Palestinian land

Israeli infrastructure projects aid the de facto annexation of Palestinian land

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor ) – If we were to listen only to the international community’s rhetoric about the impending Israeli annexation of Palestinian territory, the impression would be that the plans are more obsolete than the two-state compromise. It is impossible to forget how, at the first inkling of Arab leaders’ capitulation to Israel […]

With Reporters Distracted by US Polls, Israel Demolishes 76 Bedouin Palestinian Homes

With Reporters Distracted by US Polls, Israel Demolishes 76 Bedouin Palestinian Homes

Ramona Wadi

( Middle East Monitor) – UN intransigence over Israel contrasts with Special Rapporteur Michael Lynk’s observations regarding Israel’s ongoing settlement expansion, not least because the latter boosts his arguments by providing some colonial context instead of remaining tethered to the two-state compromise. Following the recent announcement that plans for approximately 5,000 new settlement dwellings have […]
