Israel and the US talk as if they’ve won a victory, but the reality is that world opinion has turned decisively against the Israeli regime, says RAMZY BAROUD

IT’S THE span of a whole lifetime since the Palestinians were driven from their homes during the Nakba as the state of Israel was established in 1948.
Palestinians were scattered throughout the region, forced into refugee camps in neighbouring countries. Within that lifetime, the situation of the Palestinian people has got considerably worse.
War and occupation have become facts of life for subsequent generations. Yet two things could perhaps not have been predicted back at the time of the Nakba: one was the sheer brutality of the Israeli state and its increasingly repressive policies; the other was the resilience and resistance of the Palestinian people, which has engendered a powerful solidarity movement in their support.

Trump has changed his tune from the deal-making peace-bringer and is now gearing up to attack Iran. We must take to the streets to keep Britain out of this new madness and all of Israel and the US’s wars, writes LINDSEY GERMAN
