By Ramzy Baroud Though much of Israel’s self-proclaimed ‘independence’ was an outcome of unconditional US support, Israelis hardly acknowledge this fact. Israeli President Isaac Herzog added nothing of great value in his speech at […]
By Ramzy Baroud To live up to Israel’s expectations and to ensure its survival, the PA is willing to clash directly with Palestinians who refuse to toe the line. This is the perfect opportunity […]
