  • Palestinians in Gaza gathered in large numbers to watch the Morocco-Portugal game at World Cup’s quarterfinals. (Photo: Mahmoud Ajjour, The Palestine Chronicle)

    Palestine is my cause: Arabs reaffirm support for Palestinians, rejection of the occupation

    Originally published: Politics for the People on February 1, 2023 (more by Politics for the People)

    The latest Arab Opinion Index 2022 is yet more proof that Arab societies are diverse in every possible way, from their assessment of their economic situation and living conditions to their take on immigration, state institutions and democracy. With one single exception: Palestine.

    ‘Avenging Sabra and Shatila’: On Israeli massacres and Palestinian resistance

    Originally published: Politics for the People on September 14, 2022 (more by Politics for the People)

    September 16 marks the 40th anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the killing of around 3,000 Palestinians at the hands of Lebanon’s Phalangist militias operating under the command of the Israeli army.

    The road to fascism: How the war in Ukraine is changing Europe

    Originally published: Palestine Chronicle on September 10, 2022 (more by Palestine Chronicle)  |

    As soon as I landed in Rome, I discovered that I was no longer able to access any Russian media whatsoever. Unfortunately, threats by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, that Europe should sever all links with “Russia’s propaganda machine” were taken seriously by the Italian government.

    Cost of the Ukraine War felt in Africa, Global South

    Originally published: Palestine Chronicle on May 1, 2022 (more by Palestine Chronicle)  |

    While international news headlines remain largely focused on the war in Ukraine, little attention is given to the horrific consequences of the war which are felt in many regions around the world. Even when these repercussions are discussed, disproportionate coverage is allocated to European countries, like Germany and Austria, due to their heavy reliance on Russian energy sources.

  • Israel is accelerating settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank

    Words without action: the West’s role in Israel’s illegal settlement expansion

    Originally published: Palestine Chronicle on November 3, 2021 (more by Palestine Chronicle)  |

    The international community has a political, and even legal, frame of reference regarding its position on the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Unfortunately, however, it has no genuine political mandate, or the inclination to act individually or collectively, to bring this occupation to an end.

  • These Chains Will Be Broken: Palestinian Stories of Struggle and Defiance in Israeli Prisons (Clarity Press)

    The King’s Man: Blinken’s appointment reassures Israel that little will change under Biden

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on December 2, 2020 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Right-wing Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has nothing to worry about as the man who will directly handle America’s foreign policy in the Middle East is a loyal friend of Israel. Crisis averted.

  • The strategic goal of Israeli racism in Palestine

    Escalating the demographic war: The strategic goal of Israeli racism in Palestine

    Originally published: Information Clearing House on November 4, 2020 (more by Information Clearing House)

    The discussion on institutional Israeli racism against its own Palestinian Arab population has all but ceased following the final approval of the discriminatory Nation-State Law in July 2018. Indeed, the latest addition to Israel’s Basic Law is a mere start of a new government-espoused agenda that is designed to further marginalize over a fifth of Israel’s population.

    War on BDS: How AIPAC-Israel agenda became U.S. priority

    Originally published: Middle East Monitor on January 17, 2019 (more by Middle East Monitor)  |

    The Israeli-U.S. war declared on the Palestinian boycott movement is coming to a head, culminating in a well-orchestrated effort aimed at suffocating any form of tangible protest of the ongoing Israeli colonization of Palestine.

  • The Palestinian Left: A Lost Opportunity

    Ramzy Baroud

      When Hamas members were elected as the majority bloc of the Palestinian Legislative Council, and as it became apparent that a US-led international embargo would be an adjoining price to that victory, I contacted many intellectuals and writers in Palestine, mostly those who often positioned themselves as part of the Palestinian Left.  I asked […]

Monthly Review Essays

  • Post-Political Post-Aesthetics
    Marc James Léger Picasso in Palestine

    The universal premises of culture and politics have been subject to criticism from the moment that Enlightenment theories emerged. In postmodern theory, radical skepticism replaces judgement and makes universal speculation seem like either an absurd game or a violent imposition.

Lost & Found

  • The Puzzle of Financialization
    Harry Magdoff Monthly Review Volume 45, Number 5 (October 1993)

    In this reprise from October 1993, Henry Magdoff and Paul Sweezy ask: “Isn’t there anyone around here who understands how this capitalist system works?”
