Dr Soma Baroud’s life and death embody the tragedy facing the people of Gaza, writes her brother RAMZY BAROUD, sharing her last words of resilience and love in the face of unimaginable loss

RAMZY BAROUD details the brazen scheme to recruit African asylum-seekers to fight in the IDF, a desperate measure that lays bare Israel’s deep systemic racism — and mounting recruitment crisis

RAMZY BAROUD dissects the Israeli PM’s cartographic deceit, exposing how the erasure of Palestinian territories reflects a broader strategy of denial, displacement and eventually the extermination of an entire people

Spain’s deputy prime minister declares ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ as Europe finally catches up with global support for Palestinians, while Israel's language turns to existential fears, writes RAMZY BAROUD

It is clear now beyond any doubt that Israel aims to destroy Gaza and annex the West Bank. As the Palestinian resistance has shown this is not possible, will the West start listening to the Palestinian people, asks RAMZY BAROUD

The overwhelming majority of world opinion continues to defy the US’s support of Israel — now it is time to end the world’s longest occupation by finally turning these words into action, writes RAMZY BAROUD

While Washington is safely isolated geographically, it is in Europe's interests to develop a backbone about the crimes happening on its doorstep — and finally force Israel to take it seriously, writes RAMZY BAROUD

RAMZY BAROUD says it is as if the legacy of the US’s own ‘war on terror’ has been completely forgotten, or ignored — but the faltering superpower will not escape accountability for the billions and bombs it has given Israel to kill Palestinians

Despite the enormous price paid in retaliation, the principle of freeing those held in Israeli prisons goes to the heart of reasons why Palestinians resist in the way they do, writes RAMZY BAROUD

The pro-war, pro-occupation sections of Israeli society should remember how the last attempts to hold Gaza went; the truth is there is no military solution for the IDF in Gaza, writes RAMZY BAROUD

The decline of the Western bloc led by the US and the rise of the global South give Palestinians fresh hope – especially the rapid rise of old ally China – but will their leadership act on it, asks RAMZY BAROUD

A new generation has buried the ghosts of the past, its irrelevant, unenforced peace pacts and bitter, factional infighting, and embraced a new era of Palestinian resistance, argues RAMZY BAROUD

By trying to appease his far-right coalition partners and their desire for all-out religious war on what is left of Palestine, Netanyahu is provoking an armed uprising in the West Bank, writes RAMZY BAROUD

RAMZY BAROUD argues that the Nakba is not a single historical incident to be debated or bargained over — it is an injustice that continues to this day, and continues to unite all Palestinians
