Israel's controversial E1 Plan: a "death blow" to peace?
The occupied Palestinian territories refer to the areas of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, conquered by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967. Although Jordan renounced its claims to the West Bank in 1988 and Israel withdrew its troops from Gaza in 2005, the West Bank and East Jerusalem remain under strict Israeli control. According to...
Ongoing Genocide: an analysis of the massacre of Palestinians
Since October 2023, Israel’s policy towards Palestinians has undergone a fundamental change following the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023. The events of that day served as a catalyst, and the practices implemented by Israel in Gaza since then constitute a coordinated attack with the intent to destroy Palestinian society in Gaza as a group. This analysis is based on...
The crimes in Gaza and the complicity of the West
The Western media system is complicit in what I do not hesitate to call a colonial genocide in Palestine. I firmly believe that our media, rather than reporting the truth, have actively participated in “paving the way” and “manufacturing consent” for the horrors we are witnessing, with a systemic complicity that reminds me of the one that preceded the genocide...
Gaza: humanitarian catastrophe and occupation plans
May 2025. The Gaza Strip finds itself engulfed in an unprecedented spiral of despair.

77 years of catastrophe: an endless Nakba
May 15, 2025, will mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba. For Palestinians worldwide, it is not simply a historical date to commemorate, but an open wound, a “catastrophe” – the meaning of the Arabic word Nakba – whose consequences continue to define every aspect of their existence. It is not an event confined to 1948, but a collective trauma...
Information manipulation. Gaza and Sumy (Ukraine): two tragedies, two narratives
The echo of explosions and the pain of victims know no geographical boundaries, yet the way news is presented can create significant distances in public perception. A recent episode emblematically illustrates the double standard in the approach of Italian information when faced with tragedies affecting civilians in conflict contexts: the bombing of the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza and the...

Justifying the unjustifiable: Israeli and western propaganda
In recent weeks, I’ve found myself immersed in research about media propaganda, driven by the need to understand how, systematically, every military action by Israel always finds its justification in Western media that shapes collective thought. No matter how serious the action: whether it’s schools razed to the ground, hospitals bombed, buildings torn apart – there’s always a ready explanation,...
Between the walls of war and the echo of humanity: reflections on a shared fate
Between us is a wall, and all the spaces are lit by a sun that does not resemble our sun, but it is here, above us, between us, within us, urging us with questions. Do we stay in place, or do we move into wandering?! The last night before the anniversary of the first year of the war, October 7th,...
In Lebanon as in Gaza, killing civilians is Israel's only objective
As we continue to helplessly witness Israel’s genocide in Gaza in a daily state of apprehension, anxiety, and pain due to the images showing the atrocities that have been ongoing for months, in the past week the world has seen Israel’s military failure in Gaza shift to Lebanon, where the genocidal state has lashed out with equal violence and contempt...
