Fantasmas del pasado: Para Israel, la guerra contra la UNESCO es una batalla existencial

Para Israel, el reconocimiento por parte de la UNESCO de Jericó como Patrimonio de la Humanidad en Palestina complica su misión de borrar a Palestina, física y figurativamente, de la existencia.

Jericho does not belong to the Palestinians alone. It belongs to the whole of humanity. For Israel, however, the recognition by UNESCO of Jericho as a “World Heritage Site in Palestine” complicates its mission of erasing Palestine, physically and figuratively, from existence. Israel’s foreign ministry described the decision as a “cynical”

Las marcas perdedoras de Tel Aviv: el 'golpe' israelí y la muerte de la falsa democracia

La tarea de promocionar a Israel como “la única democracia en Medio Oriente” ya no es fácil de vender. Con el pilar de la “democracia” desmoronándose, el pilar de la “estabilidad” también se está desmoronando. Y sin estabilidad, los inversores simplemente huyen. .

From its very onset, Israel has constructed a brand for itself, a powerful gimmick that was predicated on two main pillars: democracy and stability. The main target audience for this brand has been powerful Western states that wielded disproportionate political, economic and military powers. These Western governments, along with their

Lo que los medios no nos dicen sobre África occidental

Se ha prestado poca atención a la posibilidad de que tal vez los países africanos estén hartos del viejo aparato, el de dictadores ricos y violentos apoyados por Occidente -y supuestos "demócratas"- que desperdician la riqueza de su país para permanecer en el poder.

What if the "epidemic of coups" in West and Central Africa is not that at all but a direct outcome of outright revolutionary movements, similar to the anti-colonial movements that liberated most African nations from the yoke of Western colonialism throughout the 20th century? Whether this is the case or not, we are unlikely to find out anytime

De la humillación a la violación: la historia no contada del abuso de las mujeres palestinas por parte de Israel

Humillar a los palestinos es una política israelí real y no puede atribuirse a unas cuantas manzanas podridas del llamado "ejército más moral del mundo".

Israeli soldiers' humiliation of Palestinian women in the occupied city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) on July 10 was not the first such episode. Sadly, it will not be the last. Indeed, the stripping of five women in front of their children, parading them naked around their family home and then stealing their jewelry by an Israeli military unit was not a

La retorcida lógica israelí del asesinato de niños palestinos

Después de un examen exhaustivo de datos médicos, relatos de testigos presenciales, secuencias de vídeo e investigaciones de campo, Human Rights Watch concluyó recientemente que el gobierno israelí mata deliberadamente a niños palestinos.

Israel kills Palestinian children as a matter of policy. This claim can easily be demonstrated and is supported by the latest findings of a Human Rights Watch report. The question is: why? When the police or military shoot a child anywhere in the world, though utterly tragic, it can be argued, at least in theory, that the killing was an

When the Torturer is the Savior: Can BRICS Help Us Escape the West’s Hegemony and Contradictions?

At the zenith of the mass protests in Egypt on January 25, 2011, Twitter, Facebook and other Western-based social media platforms appeared to be the most essential tools for the Egyptian Revolution. Though some observers later contested the use of the terms ‘Twitter Revolution’ or ‘Social Media Revolution,’ one cannot deny the centrality of these […]

China’s Diplomatic Evolution: A Potential Ally for Palestinians’ Quest for Justice

China’s slow drift from a Western-centric economic system is being coupled with a whole new approach to foreign policy – ‘wolf diplomacy’ in the West and a gentler, kinder approach in the Global South.

It is feasible for China to continue playing an important role in mediating Middle East conflicts. In fact, it already has. In the case of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, however, mediation is hardly the issue. Even before Beijing successfully managed to achieve reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran last April, Chinese diplomacy has
