By Jamal Kanj The ceasefire is a stark acknowledgment of Israel’s inability to impose its will, even with the unlimited US military aid and diplomatic cover. President Joe Biden, flanked by his Secretary of State […]

By Jamal Kanj Israel’s recent raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital is a tragic reminder of the ongoing war crimes in Gaza and the devastating impact on medical facilities. The recent Israeli raid on Kamal Adwan […]
By Jamal Kanj The PA’s collaboration with Israel highlights the profound challenges facing Palestinian governance under occupation. Since the 1993 Oslo Accord, Israel has invaded Jenin Camp numerous times. The City of Jenin and the […]
By Jamal Kanj Despite his rhetoric against Israel, Assad was predictable and well contained by Israel than what the change might bring. The rapid collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime has taken both intelligentsia and analysts […]
By Jamal Kanj Netanyahu’s deliberate undermining of US-led negotiations for prisoners’ swap exemplifies his quintessential diabolical persona. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel’s war on Gaza will continue until achieving what he […]
By Jamal Kanj The systematic dissemination of misinformation position Western media as a key instrument in manufacturing consent for Israel’s wars of genocide. A UN Special Committee has characterized Israel’s war in Gaza as genocide, […]
By Jamal Kanj While claiming to work hard for a ceasefire for over a year, US President Joe Biden has been ineffective in curbing Netanyahu’s relentless pursuit of war. American news outlets reported that the […]
By Jamal Kanj American officials continue to be Israel’s willing enablers to carry on with its General’s Starvation Plan in a systematic and phased mini-genocide. George Orwell’s dystopian foresight could easily find new expressions in […]
By Jamal Kanj This has always been, and remains, Netanyahu’s goal: to manipulate and coerce the US into another made-for-Israel Middle East war. The Iranian retaliation against Israel followed a week of political ploys and […]

By Jamal Kanj Surrounded by Sayanim, Joe Biden has been beguiled by Israel’s backers throughout his political career. This is one of the many reasons the “sanctified” 6 Israeli Jews count more than the lives […]
By Jamal Kanj It is a clear case of cognitive dissonance when Western powers provide food aid to alleviate the Israeli-made famine while supplying the means for Israel to perpetuate a starvation regime, and the […]
By Jamal Kanj Reminiscent of the American student protests in 1968, the current student movement is a natural response to the inept international system. American universities pride themselves on being a melting pot of free […]
By Jamal Kanj Maybe the GCC Arab monarchies, as well as Jordan and Egypt, should also contemplate producing their own theatrical productions rather than attempting to cancel the Iranian “show.” It is not easy to […]
By Jamal Kanj Sadly, Netanyahu has been playing the Western world, and the Biden Administration in particular like a fiddle, using them to advance his agenda. “We were outraged to learn of an IDF strike […]
