The new kill zone: Gaza’s borders after the “ceasefire”
November 20th, 20250 The so-called Gaza ceasefire was not a genuine cessation of hostility, but a strategic, cynical shift in the Israeli genocide and ongoing campaign of destruction. Starting on October 10, the first day of the announced ceasefire, Israel transitioned tactics: moving from indiscriminate aerial bombardment to the calculated, engineered...
Polishing genocide: Israel’s desperate war to erase history
November 13th, 20250 Israel’s allies worldwide are desperately scrambling to help Tel Aviv re-establish a convincing narrative — not only about the Gaza genocide, but the entire legacy of Israeli colonialism in Palestine and the Middle East. The perfect little story, built on myths and outright fabrications — that of a small nation fighting for...
Verdict from the people: Why the Gaza tribunal is about accountability, not symbolism
November 7th, 20250 In the face of the international legal and political systems' paralyzing silence and utter failure to hold Israel accountable for its genocide in Gaza, international civil society has refused to stand idly by.

The unvanquished will: Gaza’s triumph of spirit against the architecture of genocide
October 31st, 20250 For the last two years, my social media algorithm has been relentlessly dominated by Gaza, particularly by the voices of ordinary Gazans, displaying a blend of emotions that centers on two core principles: grief and defiance. Grief has characterized life in Gaza for many years, a consequence of successive Israeli wars, the unrelenting...
“You cannot fight the world”: The hidden meaning behind Trump’s warning to Israel
October 24th, 20250 A single, candid statement by U.S. President Trump during a Fox News interview on October 9 may illuminate the true calculus behind Israel’s decision for a ceasefire in Gaza, following a relentless, two-year genocidal campaign that has tragically killed and wounded nearly a quarter of a million Palestinians. “Israel cannot fight the...

The point of no return: Why accountability in Gaza is a global imperative

The people’s push: How grassroots solidarity reshaped Spain’s foreign policy
September 26th, 20250 In several influential European countries, solidarity with Gaza and the Palestinian people is finally translating into action.

The political shift underway in...
A global awakening: How people power is reshaping Western policy on Palestine
September 12th, 20250 Is it finally happening? Is the West turning against Israel? Or are we, whether motivated by hope or driven by despair, simply engaging in wishful thinking? The matter is not so simple. In July, a significant number of countries and organizations signed the “New York Declaration”, a strong statement that followed a high-level...
The Arabs, the left and those who remained silent: History will not forgive you
August 23rd, 20250 The consequences of the Israeli genocide in Gaza will be dire. An event of this degree of barbarity, sustained by an international conspiracy of moral inertia and silence, will not be relegated to history as just another "conflict" or a mere tragedy. The Gaza genocide is a catalyst for major events to come. Israel and its benefactors...
The verdict of history: How political calculation betrayed Gaza
August 8th, 20250 The Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem released a comprehensive report on July 27 describing the Israeli war on Gaza as genocide.

Can Israel survive without the West? The answer reveals our collective power
July 5th, 20250 The Israeli genocide in Gaza, along with the escalating regional wars it has ignited, has brought two chilling truths into our focus: first, Israel is deliberately and aggressively undermining the security and stability of the entire Middle East and, second, Israel is utterly incapable of surviving on its own. These two assertions,...

Global backlash: How the world could shift Israel’s Gaza strategy
May 29th, 20250 The decision resonated as shocking for all sides. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose entire war strategy hinges on the starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, unilaterally decided on May 19 to allow “immediate” food entry to the famine-stricken Strip. Of course, Netanyahu still maneuvered. Instead of permitting at least...
Netanyahu’s endgame: Isolation and the shattered illusion of power
May 23rd, 20250 There was a time when Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to have all the cards.

The......
Deporting dissent: The dangerous precedent set by the persecution of pro-Palestine activists
May 2nd, 20250 "Rights are granted to those who align with power," Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student, eloquently wrote from his cell.

Netanyahu’s Shin Bet scandal: Who holds the power?
April 18th, 20250 In just 24 hours, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated Eli Sharvit as the new chief of Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency, only to quickly retract the nomination.

Civil war on the horizon? The Ashkenazi-Sephardic conflict and Israel’s future
April 4th, 20250 The phrase “civil war” is one of the most dominant terms used by Israeli politicians today.

Restoring Palestine to Its rightful owners: A conversation with Mads Gilbert
February 28th, 20250 We have long argued that the Israeli war and genocide in Gaza must catalyze a change in the overall political discourse on Israel and Palestine, particularly regarding the need to free Palestine from the confines of victimhood. This shift is necessary to create space where the Palestinian people are seen as central to their own...
Gaza has changed the discourse on popular resistance, but are we truly listening?
February 21st, 20250 Palestinians and Israelis agree that the Gaza resistance was the main reason behind Israel’s forced decision to accept a ceasefire and begin its gradual withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. The oddity is that Palestinians — dying, resisting, but remaining steadfast in Gaza — usually stand at the polar opposite of everything the Israeli...
The great march of hope: Gaza’s defiance against erasure

From Gaza to the West Bank: Israel’s unyielding war machine
February 14th, 20250 “A year of combat” — this is how Israel’s new chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, described 2025 at a conference organized by the Israeli ministry of defense.

Gaza’s unbreakable resistance: A historical perspective on the war and its aftermath
January 31st, 20250 The problem with political analysis is that it often lacks historical perspective and is mostly limited to recent events. The current analysis of the Israeli war on Gaza falls victim to this narrow thinking. The ceasefire agreement, signed between Palestinian groups and Israel under Egyptian, Qatari and U.S. mediation in Doha on......
Gaza ceasefire at last: How Israel’s “first defeat” will shape the country’s future
January 26th, 20250 The headline in the Times of Israel says it all: “For the First Time, Israel Just Lost a War.” Regardless of the reasoning behind this statement, which the article divides into fourteen points, it suggests a shattering and unprecedented event in the 76-year history of the State of Israel. The consequences of this realization will...
Israel destroyed Gaza “for generations to come” and the world stayed silent
