Israel/ Palestine
Confronting Total Collapse in Israeli-Occupied Gaza: Division and COVID-19
By Ali Abdel-Wahab | – ( Al-Shabaka ) – Gaza has always been unique among the different parts of Palestine. Its current particularity stems from being caught between three major variables exacerbating its collapse: the Israeli occupation, division in Palestinian leadership, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This reality raises socio-political questions about the role of these […]
Israel and Palestine: Apartheid or Settler Colonialism
( Middle East Monitor) – When I first began my journey into the Palestine solidarity movement two decades ago, there was much debate about whether or not Israel is truly an apartheid state. These days, of course, the debate is over. Even the liberal Israeli human rights group B’Tselem now defines Israel as an apartheid […]
The Scam of branding Criticism of Israel ‘Anti-Semitic’ is over: B’Tselem says it is an Apartheid State
By Nasim Ahmed | – ( Middle East Monitor ) – When B’Tselem described Israel as an apartheid state in a position paper last week, it did more than just dispel long held delusions about the Zionist state.

Dr. King was an early and vigorous opponent of the white South African Apartheid (segregationist) […]
Israel must Provide Vaccines to Occupied Palestinians: HRW says Over 4.5 Million in West Bank, Gaza Excluded From Vaccination Push
( Human Rights Watch) – (Jerusalem) – Israeli authorities should provide Covid-19 vaccines to the more than 4.5 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, Human Rights Watch said today.

President Biden, you Need to Hear this: Respected Israeli Rights Group B’Tselem declares Israel an Apartheid State
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The respected Israeli human rights organization, B’Tselem, has declared Israel an Apartheid state. This is a conclusion to which Informed Comment came some years ago. The UN Economic and Social Commission for West Asia came to that conclusion in 2017, but the UN was blackmailed by the odious Trump into […]
Sycophants Said Trump was sent by God, Now he’s the Most Disgraced President in History
By Nasim Ahmed | – ( Middle East Monitor ) – How the mighty have fallen. In the space of a few months, Donald J Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has gone from the dizzy heights of Nobel Peace Prize chatter to the infamy of instigating the most disgraceful act of domestic […]
