The UN is Only ‘Deeply Concerned’ about Protecting Israel

August 22, 2021

So “deeply concerned” is the UN at the Israeli raid of the offices of Defence for Children International-Palestine (DCIP), that the belated official statement by the special rapporteurs suggests that Israel – a colonial, military […]

The Two-State Compromise Normalizes Israeli Colonialism

July 29, 2021

Following the signing of last year’s Abraham Accords brokered by the Trump administration, the international community woke up to the normalisation of Israel’s colonization of Palestine; nobody seemed to be particularly averse to this. It […]

Will the US Challenge Israel’s Claims to the ‘Unification’ of Jerusalem?

July 20, 2021

Jerusalem is once again in the diplomatic crosshairs over US President Joe Biden’s intention to reopen the American Consulate in Jerusalem, which was closed by the Trump Administration in 2019. According to US Secretary of […]

As Palestinians Demand Answers, the PA has Nothing Left but Tyranny

July 5, 2021

The Palestinian Authority might not have envisaged that the killing of Nizar Banat by its security services would have unleashed such a response from the Palestinian people. Ongoing demonstrations and calls for PA leader Mahmoud […]

The Illegitimacy of Mahmoud Abbas: Complicity and Accountability in Banat’s Killing

July 1, 2021

In the international community’s narrative of illusory state-building in Palestine, the Palestinian Authority’s security services are dissociated from violence. Whether such violence is meted out according to PA Leader Mahmoud Abbas’s directives, or in terms […]

In Joining the Coalition, Mansour Abbas Fragments the Palestinian Political Struggle

June 20, 2021

When Palestinians face the prospect of the colonization of the last remaining shards of their land by Israel, the answer is surely not collaboration with the right-wing apartheid state. And yet this is what Mansour […]

Israeli Settler-Colonialism Protects US Interests, Hence the Unconditional Support

June 10, 2021

The US will not get involved in the current government turbulence in Israel, but remains committed to the security of the settler-colonial state, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has declared. Her words are a […]

The PA Seeks International Assurances while Continuing to Fail the Palestinians

June 3, 2021

During each major Israeli offensive against Gaza, the Palestinian Authority is careful not to antagonize the settler-colonial state with its rhetoric. Its sights are perpetually set on the aftermath, particularly rebuilding Gaza and how much […]

Israel’s Colonial Violence Gives Palestinians the Right to Defend Themselves

May 17, 2021

The Biden administration has been presented with an opportunity to sound its rocket rhetoric after Hamas retaliated against the Israeli colonial violence unleashed upon Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. As Israel bombed the Gaza […]

What has the PA Done to Halt Israeli Apartheid?

May 8, 2021

The Palestinian Authority couldn’t have hoped for better timing for the release of the Human Rights Watch report detailing Israel’s apartheid system and violations. It’s just a pity for the PA that Palestinians are not […]

The US is Shielding Israel from Apartheid Claims and Itself from Complicity Charges

May 1, 2021

The Palestinians mentioned apartheid in connection with Israel long before B’Tselem used the description. Now it is the turn of Human Rights Watch (HRW) to — rightfully, if belatedly — accuse Israel of apartheid in […]

Abbas Statements are Complicit with Israeli Settler-Colonialism

April 22, 2021

Known for belatedly spouting known truths, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas was true to form in his address to the J Street conference recently, which revealed the extent of his collaboration with the international community over Palestine’s […]

The US’ Designation is Glossing over Colonialism in Palestine

April 6, 2021

In another move that shows US President Joe Biden is navigating between the Trump administration’s era and the return to the two-state politics, the US State Department’s 2020 Country Reports on Human Rights presented two facets of […]

Quartet Rhetoric Normalizes Israel’s Unilateral Decisions

March 30, 2021

The Trump era is over, or so the Middle East Quartet would have us believe. Now that the Zionist colonization project is back to contending diplomatically with the two-state compromise, the main international actors are […]

Biden’s Brand of Democracy Isolates the Palestinians

March 15, 2021

Israel is reportedly concerned that US President Joe Biden will prioritize human rights over traditional allegiances in the Middle East. With a policy shift that departs from the Trump administration’s belligerence, Biden is attempting to bring […]

Short-term Financial Measures for Palestinians Will not Address Decades of Deprivation

March 8, 2021

Short-term funding initiatives for Palestinians provided without addressing Israel’s colonialism and military occupation have been proven to be a recipe for long-term failure. They simply do not address the decades of deprivation imposed upon the […]

‘Agenda Item 7’ Highlights UN Inaction over Israeli Colonization

February 27, 2021

The US has asked to rejoin the UN Human Rights Council in another move that, superficially at least, spells a departure from the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the institution. However, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken […]

Biden has Reassured Netanyahu that the Status Quo is Safe

February 21, 2021

With US President Joe Biden’s first call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now out of the way, the first inklings of the new administration’s diplomacy regarding Palestine and Israel have been made public. Biden, it seems, […]

The US is Duplicitous over Jerusalem, but the PA Stays Silent

February 18, 2021

The Biden administration is adopting a confusing position regarding Jerusalem, signaling a possible effort to square the circle of taking the US back to the fold of international consensus on Palestine and Israel, while maintaining […]

The Decree for Palestinian Elections Symbolizes the Democratic Farce in Palestine

January 26, 2021

The Palestinian legislative and presidential elections are set to be held in May and July respectively, and the Palestinian Authority is following US President Joe Biden’s diplomatic path meticulously. A democratic veneer that seeks to […]

Mladenov’s Parting Message Endorses Trump’s Poisonous Normalization Legacy

January 19, 2021

The UN has mastered the art of dissociating itself from colonization, especially that which it has supported through international consensus. Former UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov, who in 2019 […]

Abbas is Exploiting Palestinian Reconciliation and Unity Efforts

January 10, 2021

After returning to security coordination with Israel just days after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the US presidential election, the Palestinian Authority wasted no time in reassuring the international community that it was […]

UNRWA and Palestinian Refugees are the Next Targets of Normalization Deals with Israel

January 2, 2021

When US President Donald Trump leaves office in three weeks’ time, he will have laid the foundations for a further downgrading of the Palestinian struggle for freedom. It is, perhaps, little wonder that the Palestinian […]

UNRWA, the EU and Humanitarian Aid all have a Political Agenda

December 31, 2020

The EU’s recent financial donation to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) leaves no doubt about the motive. As the agency continues to face an unprecedented year-on-year financial crisis due to […]

The PA Excels in Theatre of the Absurd

November 26, 2020

If there is one thing in which the Palestinian Authority excels, it is theatre of the absurd. Following its announcement that, based on international reassurances, there will be a resumption of security coordination with Israel, […]

A Return to Collaboration over Israel’s Security Narrative

November 20, 2020

US President-elect Joe Biden has not yet taken office, but Israel’s false security narrative is already taking precedence over everything else. Meanwhile, within the ranks of the Palestinian Authority which gambled with Palestinian lives during […]

The EU has Played a Waiting Game to Israel’s Advantage

November 19, 2020

There are a couple of meaningful things that the EU should do, without delay: it should drop the pretence that it supports the Palestinian people’s right to their own land, and it should clarify the […]

The PA Needs to Clarify Its Concept of ‘Negotiations’ in Abandoned Palestine

November 14, 2020

The US “deal of the century” may be scrapped when President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January, but its ramifications will not necessarily be anathema to the incoming administration. Just as outgoing President Donald Trump […]

Palestinians Don’t Need a ‘Victim Status’ They Have a Right to an Anti-colonial Struggle

October 29, 2020

The US-Israeli narrative on Palestine goes a step further than the designated humanitarian label which the international community imposed upon the Palestinian people. As US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman predicted that up to ten […]

Palestinian Narratives have been Exploited to Validate International Designs on Palestine

October 1, 2020

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman is reeking of fake accomplishments. The “conflict”, he has claimed, will be over with the normalisation agreements which Arab countries are seeking with Israel.  Israel Hayom’s report is quite telling in […]
