Israel/ Palestine
History unearthed: What if Trump succeeded in ethnically Cleansing Gaza?
( Middle East Monitor ) – US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner said in a 2020 interview that he had read 25 books on the Middle East. Such intellectual bravado wouldn’t matter if it weren’t for the fact that Kushner served as the President’s Middle East advisor, and was essentially the main architect of […]
Suspend Arms Transfers to End US Complicity in Israeli Abuses
Human Rights Watch – (Washington, DC) – The United States will be complicit in the Israeli government’s grave violations in Gaza so long as it continues to provide arms and other military aid, Human Rights Watch said today ahead of a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli authorities […]
Gaza’s Water Infrastructure, deliberately destroyed by Israel, Desperately needs to be Rebuilt
Thousands of Palestinians have died because of Israeli efforts to choke off Gaza’s water supply. Immediate aid — and long-term infrastructure repairs — are essential to save lives. By Niku Jafarnia | ( Foreign Policy in Focus ) – The current ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas does not include provisions that will aid in […]

Sinai! Why Egypt’s al-Sisi says he will snub White House Invitation if Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza is on Agenda
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Egypt has shown more spunk in standing up to Trump than has the mostly supine US Congress. Offered the most insane rogues’ gallery of cabinet appointees in American history (and there have been some doozies), the Senate has rolled over time and again. Not so former Field Marshall Abdelfattah al-Sisi. […]
Trump’s Gaza Plan: A Green Light for Ethnic Cleansing?
( Middle East Monitor ) – Let’s be clear: the forced displacement of Palestinians is not a new idea. US President Donald Trump’s latest proposal to take “long-term ownership” of Gaza, to “clean out” the “mess”, and to turn it into a “Riviera of the Middle East” is just the latest iteration of efforts aimed […]
Gaza’s Telecommunications: Occupied and Destroyed
Ali Abdel-Wahab Introduction ( Al-Shabaka ) – In the 21st century, telecommunications—particularly the internet—have become indispensable tools in the global struggle for freedom and dignity. For Palestinians in Gaza, who have endured over 17 years of Israeli blockade and many more decades of Israeli colonial occupation, the internet serves as a critical lifeline: a […]
