Does Israel’s Netanyahu need another Gaza War to remain Prime Minister (and out of Jail)?

Does Israel’s Netanyahu need another Gaza War to remain Prime Minister (and out of Jail)?

Ramzy Baroud

( Middle East Monitor) Media reports of an impending Israeli war on the besieged Gaza Strip are now a regular occurrence. The frequency of these reports fluctuates based on Israel’s own political landscape. Empirical experience has taught us that when Israeli leaders are in trouble, they wage a war on Gaza. Now that Israeli Prime […]

When Will Palestinians Wake up to Complete US embrace of Messianic Extremist Israeli Project

When Will Palestinians Wake up to Complete US embrace of Messianic Extremist Israeli Project

Ramzy Baroud

Those who are still hoping that the new American agenda on Palestine and Israel is temporary, or reversible, should abandon this false hope. Washington’s complete adoption of Israel’s messianic, extremist policies regarding Occupied Palestine has been a long time in the making. And it is here to stay. Despite the unmistakable clarity in the American […]

Why Hunger Strikes? Most of the 800,000 Palestinians who have cycled through Israeli Jails haven’t Committed a Crime

Ramzy Baroud

Ramzy Baroud

(Ma’an) – As the 300-foot spire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris tragically came tumbling down on live television, my thoughts ventured to Nuseirat Refugee Camp, my childhood home in the Gaza Strip.Then, also on television, I watched as a small bulldozer hopelessly clawed through the rubble of my neighborhood mosque.
