For the first time, there are more Palestinians than Jews living under Israeli rule

Israel has accelerated its annexation of the West Bank from a slow creep to a run

With a Palestinian “state” effectively restricted to Gaza, the humanitarian catastrophe there needs to be urgently addressed

CommentMarch 18, 2018

The lies and self-deceptions at work within Israel's 'moral' army

Jonathan Cook reviews recent abuses against Palestinians by Israel's military

CommentMarch 04, 2018

Benjamin Netanyahu's ruthless instinct for political survival remains undimmed

The allegations against the Israeli Prime Minister continue to mount, but it is unlikely he will go quietly, writes Jonathan Cook

CommentFebruary 18, 2018
Ghada was taken to the Erez border crossing into Gaza, seen here from the Palestinian side / AFP
Fourteen-year-old Ghada was the latest victim of Israel's dehumanising machine

The teenager locked up in Gaza, despite never living there, was viewed simply as a package, to be delivered to whatever location was on the docket

CommentFebruary 04, 2018

Why is the Israeli army suddenly concerned about Gaza?

For years, Gaza has been on the brink of collapse. Jonathan Cook looks at the troubling reasons behind a sudden uptick in interest by the Israeli military

CommentJanuary 21, 2018

Ahed Al Tamimi's incarceration sheds a disturbing light on how children are targeted in Israel

Dubbed Palestinians' Joan of Arc and subjected to sinister threats, Ahed shows resistance cannot be passive or polite

CommentJanuary 08, 2018

Why there are few Christians left in the holy town of Bethlehem

Israel's blockade has eroded the number of Palestinian Christians upholding ancient rites in the birthplace of Jesus, writes Jonathan Cook

CommentDecember 24, 2017
The infamous two-state solution is dead for all intents and purposes. EPA
Palestinian rage will rise to the surface in time

Jerusalem's inhabitants will have to shame Israel, the US and the watching world by striving for a single state, writes Jonathan Cook

OpinionDecember 18, 2017
In the row over Jerusalem, pictured here, American Jews will have a tough choice as Israel's right-wing government is increasingly attacking the liberal left / AFP
The row over Jerusalem gives American Jews a tough choice

Israel has turned on liberal Jews – but will those in the US continue to support a state that openly attacks them?

CommentDecember 04, 2017
Forced into the corner by a bull-headed Trump administration, Mr Abbas may be faced with a hard choice: either he agrees to a series of non-viable statelets under Israel’s thumb, or he steps down and dismantles the Palestinians’ government-in-waiting. AP
Trump's 'ultimate deal' only offers hard choices for Abbas

It is in Donald Trump’s nature to bargain ruthlessly and then cut a quick-and-easy deal, and in this environment, something has to give, writes Jonathan Cook

CommentNovember 20, 2017

What the Priti Patel scandal tells us about the dark operations of the UK's powerful Israel lobby

Dirty tricks and opaque dealings characterise the workings of lobbyists, writes Jonathan Cook
