We Can Defeat the Israeli Lobby
Ilan Pappé | Palestine Chronicle – TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Jul 2024
9 Jul 2024 – The sight of the children buried under the rubble, salvaged by older children, is enough for me and, I am sure, for anyone who was ever silenced by the lobby, not to cave in but to overcome any hurdles they put in our way of speaking truth to power.

Navigating our Humanity: Ilan Pappé on the Four Lessons from Ukraine
Ilan Pappé | The Palestine Chronicle - TRANSCEND Media Service,
7 Mar 2022
4 Mar 2022 – The USA Today reported that a photo that went viral about a high-rise in the Ukraine being hit by Russian bombing turned out to be a high-rise from the Gaza Strip, demolished by the Israeli Air Force in May 2021. Legitimizing internationally the invasion of sovereign countries and licensing the continued colonization and oppression of others, such as Palestine and its people, will lead to more tragedies, such as the Ukrainian one, in the future.

Palestine and Historical R2P: Britain’s Special Accountability
Ilan Pappé | The Beirut Forum – TRANSCEND Media Service,
24 Jun 2019
One cannot overstate the unique role Britain plays in the history of Israel and Palestine. It began in the mid 19th century, with the work of Lord Shaftsbury, London literati, in encouraging Jews to immigrate to Palestine and lobbying the British Empire to create a Jewish state there. It culminated with the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which the Zionist movement welcomed enthusiastically and the Palestinians rejected vehemently. In the Palestinian narrative, to this very day, the declaration is depicted as the first, and crucial, milestone on the road to their 1948 Nakba-catastrophe.

2 Nov 2016 – November is a painful month dotted with commemorative days that have one theme in common: the partitioning of Palestine. Today is the 99th anniversary of the Balfour declaration. Although it did not offer partition, it sowed the seeds for it, which eventually allowed the Zionist movement to take over Palestine.

28 Sep 2016 – The obituaries for Shimon Peres have already appeared, no doubt prepared in advance as the news of his hospitalization reached the media. My guess is that very few of the obituaries will examine Peres’ life and activities from the perspective of the victims of Zionism and Israel.

3 Oct 2016
Les nécrologies de Shimon Peres ont déjà été publiées, préparées sans aucun doute à l’avance, dès que la nouvelle de son hospitalisation est parue dans les médias. Le verdict sur sa vie est très clair et a déjà été prononcé par le président américain Barack Obama : Peres était un homme qui a changé le cours de l’histoire humaine dans sa recherche incessante pour la paix au Moyen-Orient. Mon intuition est que très peu des nécrologies examineront la vie et les activités de Peres du point de vue des victimes du sionisme et d’Israël.

18 May 2015
The steadfastness of the Palestinians is like the age-old olive trees in Palestine that succeed in resurfacing between the European pines. The 15th of May is usually a trigger for a journey back in time. And for an unfathomable reason each such journey conjures up a different aspect of the Nakba.

Ilan Pappé – The Plymouth Institute for Peace Research,
25 Aug 2014
The Israeli strategy of branding its brutal policies as an ad hoc response to this or that Palestinian action is as old as the Zionist presence in Palestine itself. It was used repeatedly as a justification for implementing the Zionist vision of a future Palestine that has in it very few, if any, native Palestinians.

21 Jul 2014
Cessation of the incremental genocide in Gaza and the restitution of the basic human and civil rights of Palestinians wherever they are, including the right of return, is the only way to open a new vista for a productive international intervention in the Middle East as a whole.

6 May 2013
One would think only a madman can ignore 6 million of people, many of them under his military or apartheid rule while he actively and ruthlessly disallows the return of the rest [5.5 million] to their homeland. But when the madman [President Shimon Peres] receives the best weapons from the US, Nobel Peace Prizes from Oslo and preferential treatment from the European Union, one wonders how seriously we should take their references to the leaders of Iran and North Korea as dangerous and lunatic?

The charade will end in September or October — when the Palestinian Authority plans to submit its request for UN membership as a full member — in one of two ways. It could be either painful and violent, if Israel continues to enjoy international immunity and is allowed to finalize by sheer brutal force its mapping of post-Oslo Palestine. Or it could end in a revolutionary and much more peaceful way with the gradual replacement of the old fabrications with solid new truths…
