Israel/ Palestine
The return of Apartheid, Israeli style

Only one way out: a unitary state with equal rights in Palestine-Israel
By Ghada Karmi | – ( OpenDemocracy.net ) – Everyone who values democracy, justice and human decency should assist the Palestinians in achieving this goal.

By Philip Leech-Ngo | – It’s mid-July, two weeks after what many in the international media believed was Israel’s start date for the annexation of large parts of the West Bank. Many commentators, including me, tried to predict the next move by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, enabled by the mercurial U.S. President Donald Trump, […]

Tucson, AZ (Special to Informed Comment) – July 1st came and went and Netanyahu made no formal statement regarding annexation. That left many journalists, politicians, activists, and others feeling abandoned to speculation.

Amid Pandemic Spike, Israel cuts Electricity to Palestinian Hamlets in Apparent Pressure to accept Annexation
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Palestinians are saying that Israel, the Occupation Authority, cut off their electricity last week. Akram al-Waraa at Middle East Eye reports that locals believe that the black out was intended to send the message that Israel controls their lives and they should not make trouble over the impending Israeli annexation […]
Annexation was Always the Israeli Goal in the Palestinian West Bank
( Middle East Monitor ) – Wednesday, July 1, was meant to be the day on which the Israeli government officially annexed 30% of the occupied Palestinian West Bank and the Jordan Valley. This date, however, came and went and annexation was never actualized. “I don’t know if there will be a declaration of sovereignty […]
