      Netanyahu's courting of Bolsonaro is just the latest in a long line of alliances with far-right figures

      Cosying up to reactionary demagogues across the world, the Israeli prime minister is underlining his own hardline nationalist agenda

      CommentNovember 04, 2018

      Why progressive Jews in the US have helped make Lara Alqasem a cause celebre

      The detained student has exposed the hypocrisy of supposedly liberal Israelis

      CommentOctober 15, 2018

      As Gaza's economy collapses, so does any hope of peace

      The decade-long Israeli blockade has had devastating effects, but that was always the point

      Palestinians suffer as Trump dismantles the rules-based order

      However ineffectual international institutions have proved, the US, like Israel, still prefers to be without them altogether

      CommentSeptember 20, 2018
      Shatila Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Beirut. Palestinians have reacted angrily to the US decision amid fears it undermines their cause. Anwar Amro / AFP
      Deeper, darker agenda of US's UNRWA funding cut

      Refugees are the final loose end in forcing Palestinians to accept Trump's 'deal of the century' peace plan

      CommentSeptember 02, 2018

      August 21, 2018
      Peter Beinart published 'The Crisis of Zionism' in 2013
      In detaining Peter Beinart, Israel is effectively declaring that it no longer represents millions of Jews overseas

      There is an ever-growing list of academics, lawyers, human rights groups, political advocates for ending the occupation and boycott supporters subjected to questioning about their political views, writes Jonathan Cook

      CommentAugust 19, 2018

      Israel is bulldozing Khan Al Ahmar – and with it the two-state solution

      By destroying the Bedouin village and slicing the West Bank in two, Netanyahu lurches closer to his vision of a Greater Israel, writes Jonathan Cook

      CommentJuly 08, 2018
      Palestinian protesters fly a kite with a burning rag dangling from its tail during a protest at the Gaza Strip's border with Israel. Khalil Hamra / AP
      Young protesters are defying Israel's blockade with scraps of paper and plastic

      Prince William might not see the flaming kites of Gaza but he should see enough of the Occupied Territories to understand its David-Goliath battle, writes Jonathan Cook

      CommentJune 24, 2018
      Villagers in Al Porat in the Negev Desert. Israel has “nationalised” 93 per cent of its territory for Jews around the world / Heidi Levine for The National
      Three rebuffed parliamentary bills show how little legal recourse Palestinians have against residential apartheid

      The backlash against Israeli propaganda, including a growing international boycott movement, has driven the country's right wing into even greater defiance, writes Jonathan Cook

      The flames that killed Fathi Harb should make us all burn with guilt and shame

      The world's lack of action drove the 21-year-old father-to-be to commit an act of pure desperation

      CommentMay 27, 2018

      Comment: West's failure to act in Gaza will be cause of the next massacre

      Western leaders betrayed Palestinians 70 years ago. There is no sign that is about to change

      Israel has been crafting a dishonest counter-narrative ever since the Nakba, one that historians scouring the archives have exploded, writes Jonathan Cook

      CommentMay 13, 2018
