Isolating the Emirati regime has become an urgent necessity
Anyone closely observing the behaviour of the leaders of the Emirati regime, particularly under the leadership of Mohammed bin Zayed, in handling sensitive regional issues—foremost among them, the Arab-Israeli conflict—will find that this small state has inflicted painful betrayals on the Palestinian cause. The UAE is not merely a...

Trump and the Era of Chaos
The project of displacing Palestinians and occupying the Gaza Strip is a declaration of war on the humanitarian international community. It takes us back to different eras of bloodshed, brutality, fascism, and Nazism—those periods governed by the law of the jungle, where people were slaughtered, cities were destroyed and...

Is Trump a peacemaker or a warmonger?
During his inauguration, Trump clearly expressed his desire to be remembered in history as a “peacemaker”, unlike the legacy left by his predecessor who instigated wars in the world.

Having the will in the path of change
The transitional path in the new Syria is long, thorny and requires persistence and patience.

Liberating Syria forever
After more than fifty years of tyranny, oppression and injustice, the Assad regime had a resounding fall, thanks to the sacrifices of the great Syrian people who struggled, suffered and sacrificed everything on the altar of freedom, especially over the last thirteen years.

A bright day in the history of the international humanitarian community
An earthquake shook the fascist entity after more than 400 days in which a genocide, the mother of all crimes, was being committed against the civilians in the Gaza Strip, including women, children and the elderly. The politicians of this entity believed they were immune from prosecution due to...

The past twelve months have been a year of shame and a year of pride
The Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip have been through twelve months of killing, destruction, displacement and starvation in a genocide unprecedented in modern history.

Where was Big Brother during acts of terrorism and sabotage in Britain?
British society witnessed a week of terrorism acts against immigrants and minorities of the British citizens, especially Muslims, where the far-right spread terrorism across the country, causing a state of fear and anxiety in society.

Will a Labour gov’t support genocide or help stop it?
The orgy of colonial powers led by the United States and the UK has turned international law into a laughingstock. It no longer has any significant meaning given the ongoing genocide in Gaza, including closing crossings, using starvation as a weapon of war, bombing homes, killing women and children,...

Seven months of bloodshed and destruction
The Israeli occupation’s invasion of the Rafah Crossing and its seizure of the area as Egypt and the world watch on are dangerous turning points in the Israeli extermination of the people of the Gaza Strip. Although many denounced Israel’s actions and warned against a total invasion of an area...

Will the law or political considerations sway the ICJ judges?
No lawsuit would ever be able cover all the details of the genocide to which the Palestinian people have been subjected for more than a hundred years. It started with the infamous 1917 Balfour Declaration, followed by the notorious British Mandate era, through to the 1948 Nakba and 1967...

Karim Khan falls into the mire of politics
On 10 November, 2023, Karim Khan, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, published an article in The Guardian newspaper reflecting his inability and bias towards the Israeli narrative in an ugly way.

Who will stop the Gaza Holocaust?
As the Israeli war on the people of Gaza intensifies, the US-led western front continues to stick to the Israeli narrative about the events, in total disregard for the thousands of victims and massive destruction caused by the Israeli war machine. Since the start of the events, the US-led western...

The politicisation of the ICC
It was a difficult labour for the International Criminal Court (ICC), which came to life in July 1998. Following the First and Second World Wars, projects to establish a permanent criminal court to eliminate the state of widespread impunity were set up. However, some countries which feared the prosecution...

We will not allow what is left of our basic intrinsic values to be stolen
I am neither a football fan nor a follower of the sport. Rather, I am critical of the unimaginable extravagance that the game has spawned, not least the salaries of top players in the West, many of whom are paid hundreds of thousands every week. This is much, much...

Ever since the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the enactment of the Rome Statute on 1 July 2002, Israel and its ally the United States have been making every effort to discredit it. From the onset, the two countries felt threatened and refused to endorse the...
