The Palestine National Football Team has, once more, done the seemingly impossible by qualifying for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. By any standards, this is a great achievement, especially as the Palestinians have done it […]
Having read Pastor Tom Mofokeng’s scurrilous attempt (City Press, June 17) to discredit and undermine Reverend Frank Chikane, it astounded me to discover a complete absence of substance in his letter. The lack of depth […]
Liberal MP Ya’ara Saks is claiming to have been the victim of “hate” when young people yelled, “stop supporting the killing of Palestinians”. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center […]
Israel has yet again convicted an innocent person. Mohammed al-Halabi, a former humanitarian worker for World Vision, was found by an Israeli court to be “guilty of financing terrorism.” The UN has already condemned the […]
For the past few weeks there have been several articles by and about liberal Zionists who are attempting to create an image of a kinder, gentler Israeli state. On June 8, for example, Mitchell Plitnick […]
While it is true that Zionism is a modern political ideology that has exploited religion to achieve specific colonial objectives in Palestine, prophecies continue to be a critical component of Israel’s perception of itself, and […]

What took place between May 2021 and May 2022 is nothing less than a paradigm shift in Palestinian resistance. Thanks to the popular and inclusive nature of Palestinian mobilization against the Israeli occupation, resistance in […]

Over the past year, the New Democratic Party’s Palestine policy has dramatically improved. It could portend a decisive break from the Canadian social democratic party’s anti-Palestinian history. Recently, NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson sent […]

The killing of Al Jazeera journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh on May 11, is one more chapter of the 74-year-old Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe). Much had been argued about the creation of Israel and the ensuing ethnic […]
