A people are being erased not in a single cataclysm, but through daily terror: bulldozers, armed settlers, night raids, demolished homes, and stolen water. The West Bank’s suffering is not a security policy—it is a warning of Israel’s own moral collapse There are crimes that arrive with explosions, and crimes that advance quietly—through a bulldozer…
More often than not, I find myself at a loss for words to convey Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the relentless havoc that the Israeli government enables settlers to inflict upon Palestinians in the West Bank. Rather than write yet another article expressing my outrage and disgust, I chose to speak in a more immediate…
Israel’s accelerating drive toward a biblical “Greater Israel” is not a deviation but the culmination of decades of creeping annexation and global indulgence. If unchecked, it will entrench permanent occupation, inflame the region for generations, and may ultimately undo Israel as a viable state The vision of “Greater Israel” draws on maximalist readings of biblical…
Comparative conflict analysis reveals clear conditions under which weaker actors concede. The Palestinian case meets none of them, underscoring Israel’s strategic futility in expecting capitulation in the absence of a political settlement. The asymmetry of power between states and non-state actors—or between dominant governments and weaker national movements—has defined many of the world’s most enduring…
A two-state solution remains the only viable path to peace, yet it will not emerge from Israeli policy shifts alone. Palestinians must undertake a profound strategic transformation—rooted in unity, institutional reform, and nonviolence—to make statehood both credible and attainable For decades, I have written extensively about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, consistently advancing one central premise: neither…
What if the man Israel has imprisoned for murder is also the only Palestinian capable of delivering peace? Marwan Barghouti embodies a paradox at the heart of the conflict: legitimacy born of resistance, yet committed to coexistence. Although his release under the current Israelis’ national mindset is unlikely, people and leaders inside and outside Israel…
For decades, Israel and the Palestinians have tried to bend reality to their will. But reality does not yield to force, memory does not fade on command, and justice cannot be indefinitely deferred Over the past three decades, I have written hundreds of articles and several books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, examining it from historical,…
For decades, five powerful actors—the United States, the Arab states, the European Union, AIPAC, and Israel’s own opposition—have all claimed to seek Israeli-Palestinian peace while enabling permanent occupation, together burying the two state solution. Every powerful actor in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict professes to seek peace. The US and EU repeat the two state mantra, the…
Prime Minister Netanyahu does not seek a negotiated peace with the Palestinians; instead, he perpetuates constant hostilities as a means to incrementally seize ever more territory in the West Bank and Gaza—territory he knows he could never secure at the negotiating table. Israel’s post–October 7 policy in the West Bank amounts to a deliberate strategy…
