Letter from Bethlehem: Mazin Qumsiyeh

 11 September  is the 25th anniversary of the cowardly attack on the US in 2001. I was nearby in Connecticut and had lots of friends in New York. I got death threats, spam email, hacking my own email, travel restrictions which impacted my life (fixed after lengthy legal challenge), and much more. Zionists (some of whom were dancing on rooftops and some like Netanyahu stated openly that this is good for them.  On a positive side, this stimulated a lot of interest in the US and I was invited to many more talks and debates with Zionists than ever before that. We gained thousands of supporters who started to understand US foreign policy driven to war by Zionists. I have a whole chapter in my upcoming book about this period in history. Listen to this US general about what was planned (by Zionists): https://youtu.be/TY2DKzastu8

US wars and military interventions in other countries since 1945 are many

The outcome thanks to Zionist greed is clear now: A US with $40 trillion in debt, economic decline, oil over $105/barrel, inflation, collapsed healthcare system etc. Stay tuned

Don’t be fooled by Britain’s fake support for Palestine

Gaza Rising: Voices from the Rubble, a new collection edited by Palestinian author and journalist Ramzy Baroud, historian Ilan Pappé and journalist Romana Rubeo, is now available from Clarity Press. https://www.amazon.it/-/en/Gaza-Rising-Voices-Ramzy-Baroud/dp/1963892062

Do not look away. The genocide never ended.

106 Palestinian bodies, including around 70 children, have been recovered in one day from beneath the rubble in Gaza City’s Zaytoun neighborhood.  The recovery came as Israeli forces continued their attacks across Gaza City on Sunday,

But this is a race against time. The Israeli genocidal regime is removing rubble in 60-70% of Gaza including dead bodies and evidence (11,000 missing Palestinians!). The IOP destroyed >94% of Gaza’s buildings leaving thousands of Palestinians bodies beneath the wreckage which is now being removed to hide the evidence of the genocide.

New Gaza Flotilla Mission is Underway: Israel's violent attack on the Spring 2026 flotilla and its brutal treatment of our captains, crew, and participants--430 persons from 40 countries--has not deterred us or lessened our commitment to resist Israel's persecution and attempted erasure of the Palestinian people. If anything, our action is needed now more than ever.
