Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, November/December 2022, p. 10-11 Gaza on the Ground By Mohammed Omer HAJJAH AMINAH SMILES widely with a joy that celebrates her 80-odd years. Her demeanor radiates playful sarcasm, inspiring laughter all around her—even in the odd reality that is modern-day Gaza. Kudos to her for her resilience; with an endlessly forward-looking attitude, she believes that every tomorrow will be brighter and each day can bring joy and new opportunities. A father, nearly in his 40s, knits his brow, almost toppled by two toddlers—fighting, as children do, over their turn to play. Hajj...

Strangers Behind the Trees: On the Death of Rayan Suliman and His Fear of Monsters

Photo by SHOAH.ORG.UK RAMZY BAROUD Rayan Suliman, a 7-year-old Palestinian boy, was chased by Israeli soldiers. Moments later, he was dead. (PHOTO VIA SOCIAL MEDIA) Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, November/December 2022, p. 8-9 From the Diaspora By Ramzy Baroud CHILDREN OF MY Gaza refugee camp were rarely afraid of monsters but rather of Israeli soldiers. This is all that we talked about before going to bed. Unlike imaginary monsters in the closet or under the bed, Israeli soldiers are real, and they could show up any minute—at the door, on the roof or, as was often the case, right in the middle of the house. The recent tragic death of a 7-year-old, Rayan Suliman, a Palestinian boy from the village of Tuqu near Bethlehem, in the occupied West Ba...

A Snapshot of Shifting Zionist Propaganda and Myths Over the Years

A Snapshot of Shifting 'Israeli Propaganda and Myths Over the Years JOHN GEEISRAEL PALESTINE POSTED Israel captured around 5,000 Egyptian prisoners during its June 1967 attack on Egypt. Historian Gabi Bron wrote in Israel’s daily newspaper Yediot Ahronot that he witnessed Israeli troops executing Egyptian prisoners on the morning of June 8, 1967, in the Sinai town of al-Arish. As those executions were underway, the most sophisticated intelligence ship in the U.S. Navy, the USS Liberty, was less than 13 miles away—close enough to hear incriminating radio traffic. Liberty survivor James M. Ennes believes Israel may have committed one war crime—attacking a U.S. ship—to hide another that day. Israel’s crippling aerial and naval assault on the Liberty killed 34 crew members, woun...

For Lula’s Victory to Matter: A Proposal for a Unified Palestinian Foreign Policy

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva meets the Palestinian community in Brazil, in June 2022. (Photo: Via MEMO) By Ramzy Baroud Palestinians and their supporters are justified in celebrating the election victory of the leftist presidential candidate, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, in Brazil’s runoff elections on October 30. But Lula’s victory is incomplete and could ultimately prove ineffectual if not followed by a concrete and centralized Palestinian strategy. Lula has proven, throughout the years, to be a genuine friend of Palestine and Arab countries. For example, in 2010, as a president, he spoke of his dream of seeing “an independent and free Palestine” during a visit to the occupied West Bank. He also refused to visit the grave of Theodo...

On Friday, Waters wrote on Facebook to his fans saying The Mayor of Munich, some members of the Green and SDP political parties and others “have been slandering me, accusing me of being an anti-semite and also a Putin apologist. I am neither of those things. Never have been and never will be.” Waters, known for his outspoken commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and as a proud supporter of rights for Palest...
