By recognising Palestine, Britain can help right the wrongs of the Balfour declaration

The theft of Palestinian land is a legacy of British colonialism. The UK must resist further Israeli annexations, says international relations professor. The Balfour declaration enabled the Zionist movement to embark on the systematic takeover of Palestine, a process the Zionists themselves initially described as settler colonialism, a process which is still continuing.

To understand Zionism, we must listen to the voices of its victims

It was not uncommon for Jews to recognize as early as the 1920s and 1930s that Arab resistance to the Zionist movement, and later Israel, did not derive from antisemitism but rather from their opposition to the colonization of Palestine. For example, the Zionist leader and founder of the Revisionist movement, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, recognized Zionism’s colonial features and offered an honest explanation of the Palestinians’ motivations for rejecting it.

What will happen to Palestinian land the day after annexation?

Over the past few years, the idea of annexing the occupied West Bank has migrated from the fringes of the Israeli far-right to the heart of the mainstream, finding its way into the coalition agreement signed last week between Likud and Blue and White.

East Jerusalem scrambles to prevent COVID-19 outbreak before Ramadan

Health workers are warning of a potential COVID-19 upsurge in occupied East Jerusalem with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan set to begin on Friday. Israel is doing too little, too late to stem the virus in the city’s Palestinian neighborhoods, critics say, while the government simultaneously prevents the Palestinian Authority from taking actions to prevent a possible outbreak.

The occupation has left Israel’s health system unequipped to handle a pandemic

The connection between the dangerous underfunding of Israel’s public health system and the occupation is straightforward, although not generally acknowledged by the Israeli leadership: the country is in a state of constant, low-intensity conflicts with regular spikes in violence, such as the Second Intifada, and the seemingly endless chain of violent flare-ups on the Gaza border.

With a pandemic as cover, Netanyahu is carrying out a coup in Israel

Benjamin Netanyahu is carrying out a palace coup. Under the cover of a pandemic, he is transforming himself from lame-duck prime minister to unelected strongman. He and his henchmen have shut down parliament, enacted extreme “security” measures without legislative oversight and shelved the courts just as Netanyahu was about to go on trial for corruption.

How the U.S. made Palestine the exception to the rules of peacemaking

Palestinians knew well before U.S. President Donald Trump announced the “Deal of the Century” that his proposed “peace plan” would be a farce. Yet even the most cynical observers could not have predicted how bone-chilling the event would be. The racism of Trump’s remarks, the grin on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s face, and the applause of the dignitaries in the room, may go down as one of the most harrowing political moments in Palestinian memory.

Iran tried to recruit the British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert as a spy for Tehran in exchange for her release, but the overture was furiously rebuffed, letters smuggled out of Evin prison reveal. Moore-Gilbert, a Cambridge-educated academic specialising in Middle East politics, is currently being held in ‘Ward 2A’, an isolated Revolutionary Guard-run wing of Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, serving a 10-year sentence for espionage, a charge she, and the Australian government, rejects as entirely false.

Protesters and riot police faced off in at least two cities in Iran on Monday, a third day of angry demonstrations at the country’s leaders after the government acknowledged having shot down a Ukrainian passenger plane, killing 176 people. The protests are the most recent spillover from escalating regional tensions between the United States and Iran that built up to President Trump’s decision to kill a high-ranking Iranian general, and Iran’s firing missiles at United States forces in Iraq in response.

With Brutal Crackdown, Iran Convulsed by Worst Unrest in 40 Years

Iran is experiencing its deadliest political unrest since the Islamic Revolution 40 years ago, with at least 180 people killed — and possibly hundreds more — as angry protests have been smothered in a government crackdown of unbridled force. In many places, security forces responded by opening fire on unarmed protesters, largely unemployed or low-income young men between the ages of 19 and 26, according to witness accounts and videos.

Constant fires of e-waste and trash are sickening residents and contaminating fields where sheep once grazed in the southern West Bank. An estimated 20 percent of the world’s 50 million tons of e-waste is recycled. The rest is burned or traded by the world’s poorest. In the Hebron region of the West Bank, processing Israeli electronic waste has become a lucrative, if illegal, industry.

But it would also reduce any future Palestinian state to an enclave encircled by Israel.

Journalists at the U.S. government-funded VOA Persian have been lashing out at people they deem unsupportive of President Donald Trump’s Iran policy. The public attacks are the most visible manifestation of a transformation that’s been underway since November 2016. VOA Persian and many of its staffers have become rabidly pro-Trump, abandoning their stated mission of providing balanced news to Iranians. So perhaps it’s not surprising that its reporters are now acting on social media like Trump himself.

The protest dispersed then an Israei sniper shot a 9-year old boy in the head

In the freezer of their home in Kafr Qaddum in the West Bank, the family is preserving the last memories they have of their youngest child: a chocolate-banana popsicle and a piece of watermelon on a toothpick. Abd el-Rahman Shatawi had bought them about half an hour before an Israel Defense Forces sniper knelt on the slope of the rocky hill overlooking the village, and from a distance of 100 meters fired one live round into the 9-year-old’s head. The bullet exploded into dozens of pieces of shrapnel in his brain.

Iran accuses US of ‘deliberately targeting civilians’

US sanctions on Iran are "deliberately targeting innocent civilians" and amount to economic terrorism, its foreign minister said. Mohammad Javad Zarif made the comments on Wednesday at the United Nations in New York City. Earlier he said Iran needed ballistic missiles to protect itself from US-backed foreign invaders - an arsenal the United States argues must be curtailed.

Israeli Submarines Suspected of Sabotaging Shipping in Gulf of Oman

It is known that the US has for long had a comprehensive and combined plan with Israel to attack Iranian targets with huge, non-nuclear, bunker-busting, 10 ton, GBU-43  air-blast bombs capable of destroying the deepest underground  installations – these are the most powerful non-nuclear ordnance pieces ever produced – but first the Trump-Netanyahu war-plan needed a credible excuse.

12,000 Palestinians Fought for U.K. in WWII Alongside Jewish Volunteers, Historian Finds

In 2015, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sparked an uproar when he claimed that Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini was the one who’d urged Hitler to annihilate the Jews. But it turns out that there was another side to the story that also escaped mention by Netanyahu, the historian’s son: the forgotten role played by thousands of Palestinians who did not heed the Mufti of Jerusalem’s call to support the Axis countries, and went so far as to take up arms to fight the Nazis, often shoulder to shoulder with young Jews from Mandatory Palestine.

Why Israel Has No ‘Right to Exist’

The proper framework for discussion therefore is the right to self-determination, and it is precisely to obfuscate this truth that the propaganda claim that Israel has a “right to exist” is frequently made. It is necessary for Israel’s apologists to so shift the framework for discussion because, in the framework of the right to self-determination, it is obviously Israel that rejects the rights of the Palestinians and not vice versa.
