‘Previously Unknown Massacres’: Why Is Israel Allowed to Own Palestinian History?

Ramzy Baroud December 28, 2021 Ramzy Baroud

Reclaiming history is not an intellectual exercise; it is a necessity, yes, with intellectual and ethical repercussions, but political and legal, as well. Surely, Palestinians do not need to re-write their own history. It is already written. It is time that those who have paid far more attention to the Israeli narrative abandon such illusions and, for once, listen to Palestinian voices, because the truth of the victim is a wholly different story than that of the aggressor, writes Ramzy Baroud.

Jordan’s Shrinking Role in Palestine’s Liberation Effort

Dr. Mohammad Salami August 12, 2021 Dr. Mohammad Salami

The landlocked country is playing an increasingly insignificant role in the dispute, even though the peace process would be incomplete without the kingdom’s input. In fact, until the 1970s, Jordan was an indispensable player, having hosted thousands of Palestinian refugees. Jordan seems to be trapped by its own security restrictions and has largely ceded the peace process to its rivals, including Egypt.
