Israel/ Palestine
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 […]
The Political Goal of Israeli systemic anti-Palestinian Racism
( Middle East Monitor ) – The discussion on institutional Israeli racism against its own Palestinian Arab population has all but ceased following the final approval of the discriminatory Nation-State Law in July 2018. Indeed, the latest addition to Israel’s Basic Law is a mere start of a new government-espoused agenda that is designed to […]
Hunger strikes highlight Israel’s unjust detention of political prisoners
( Middle East Monitor ) – Calling for the freedom of one Palestinian political prisoner is what Israel expects from the international community. The latest detainee to go on hunger strike protesting against the administrative detention order that keeps him in prison indefinitely with neither formal charges nor trial is Maher Al-Akhras. His protest has […]
Can Palestinians win over Israelis disillusioned with Right Wing Zionism?
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 […]
Sudan’s Revolutionaries insist Israel Deal must be ratified by Future Parliament, as Trump’s Strong-Arm Tactics threaten its Democracy
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office with Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu on speaker phone in which he breathlessly announced that Sudan had agreed to normalize relations with Israel, following on Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates earlier this year. Egypt and Jordan had signed peace […]
How Trump wiped the Palestinians off the Map
( Middle East Monitor ) – US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman has left no doubt about the rationale behind the recent normalisation agreements with Arab states, praised by the international community as an opportunity to kick-start negotiations about the two-state compromise. In the background, the UAE’s lauded diplomacy, which postponed the annexation process and […]
