Neoliberalism, geopolitics and ideology: The taming of Giorgia Meloni

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni speaks during a press conference in Tunis, Tunisia on June 06, 2023 [Tunisian Presidency/Anadolu Agency] By: Dr Ramzy Baroud Europe keeps reminding us that geopolitical interests often trump ideology. European politics is the prime example of how states and political parties are willing to ditch their ideological foundations to hold on to power, even if briefly. The unmistakable political shift of attitude by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her Fratelli d’Italia party is the latest evidence that European politicians use ideology merely as a tool to get to the top. Once in power, though, they are governed by the same neoliberal policies that control the rest of Europe. This assertion applies equally to the Right and the Lef...

Permanent Nazi Apartheid in Palestine

Permanent Apartheid in Palestine: This is Why Israel Wants to Reactivate E1 Plan The Illegal Jewish settlement of Ma'ale Adumim. (Photo: Davidmosberg, via Wikimedia Commons) By Ramzy Baroud Israel’s quest to reactivate its E1 plan requires not just mere condemnation, but tangible and decisive action, especially as Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government is more unhinged than ever before. The Israeli government is at it again, actively discussing the construction of thousands of illegal settlement units as part of a massive settlement expansion scheme known as E1. Though Israeli construction in the East Jerusalem area has supposedly been halted under international pressure, the Israeli government has found ways to keep the plan alive. It did...

China and Palestine: No To ‘Piecemeal Crisis Management’

BY RAMZY BAROUD Remarks by China’s United Nations Ambassador, Geng Shuang, on the situation in Occupied Palestine on May 24 were impeccable, in terms of their consistency with international law. Compared to the United States’ position, which perceives the UN, and particularly the Security Council, as a battleground to defend Israeli interests, the Chinese political discourse reflects a legal stance based on a deep understanding of the realities on the ground. Articulating the Chinese thinking during a UNSC ‘Briefing on the Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestine Question’, Geng did not mince his words. He spoke forcefully about the “irreplaceable” need for a “comprehensive and just solution”, that is based on ending Israel’s “provocations” in Jerusalem...

Hundreds are still missing, feared dead, including many women and children who were huddled together on the lower deck of the 30-meter boat. Fadi survived. A heart-rending photo shows the young Syrian so...

Naziyahu: ‘No Palestinian State and the PA ‘Works for Us’

No Palestinian State and the PA ‘Works for Us’: Netanyahu’s Remarks Should Inspire Paradigm Shift Benjamin Netanyahu. (Photo: US Department of State, via Wikimedia Commons) By Ramzy Baroud Now, armed with a stable coalition, immune from any meaningful criticism, let alone tangible consequences to his action, the Israeli leader feels ready to carry out his right-wing agenda without further hesitation.

This was the gist of Netanyahu’s remarks, made at a meeting of the Israeli Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. They were reported in Israeli media on June 26. Some, including off...
