Ramzy Baroud: Fighting Israel’s War In Jenin - Can The Palestinian Authority Be Saved?

The latest operation in Jenin is a clear manifestation of how Israel uses the PA to carry out its dirty work. The Jenin refugee camp, an area of less than half a square kilometer, has always been a symbol of Palestinian resistance.

Binoy Kampmark: Far From Ignorant - The European Union, Arms Exports And Israel

As with the United States, the EU adopts a preferential approach to Israel on the issue of imposing arms embargoes, leaving the matter to individual member states. In no small part is this due to the EU being Israel’s second largest arms supplier after the US.
