Israel/ Palestine
Now can we Turn the corner on Trump and Netanyahu’s Mistaken Preference for Force and Coercion?
Storrs, CT (Special to Informed Comment) – Late in Trump’s presidency, a flurry of US activity reinforced the Trump administration’s total fidelity to Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Israeli government and its US supporters. But underlying these policy moves is a shared Trump/Netanyahu belief that the threat and use of military force is the best and often […]
To what extent did the spycops target Palestine solidarity groups?
( Middle East Monitor) – This week the Undercover Policing Inquiry [in Britain] finally got underway, albeit in an unusual, coronavirus-restricted virtual fashion. There has been a delay of more than five years since it was first formally announced by then Home Secretary Theresa May. The inquiry is investigating the deployment of undercover police officers […]
With Reporters Distracted by US Polls, Israel Demolishes 76 Bedouin Palestinian Homes
( 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 […]

His protest has […]

By Hamada Fara’na ( Middle East Monitor) – Amira Hass is a courageous Israeli journalist who defends the Palestinian people relentlessly and without hesitation. She writes about the rights of Palestinians and exposes the actions and racism of Israel’s occupation. In Haaretz recently, she wrote about a 19-year-old Israeli woman, Hallel Rabin, who refused to […]
Are Trump’s Arab-Israeli “Peace Deals” fuelling a New Mideast Arms Race?
By Motasem A Dalloul | – ( Middle East Monitor ) – Giving up its decades-old position against Israel’s occupation of Palestine, Sudan has agreed to normalise relations with the Zionist state. Tellingly, this was announced by US President Donald Trump on Friday at the White House. He is, of course, seeking a second term […]
The ‘Left-Wing anti-Semitism’ Hoax comes for Human Rights Watch and Amnesty Int’l
By Asa Winstanley | – ( Middle East Monitor ) – We are now only ten days away from the US presidential election. Like it or not, the election affects us in the UK almost as much as those in the US. Such is the influence that the US has had on British policy for […]
