Elie Eliachar was a Palestinian Jew born into a family rooted in Jerusalem since 1485, Eliachar envisioned a "Semitic Zion"—a return to the Middle East not as a European colony, but as a civilizational revival shared by Semitic Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. This video explores how the "Iron Wall" of European Zionism marginalized the voices of indigenous Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews, trading centuries of coexistence for a legacy of colonial conflict.

A Jewish extremist was arrested plotting to bomb the home of one of New York’s leading Palestine activists. Mondoweiss’s Adam Horowitz and Michael Arria break down how this assassination attempt connects to a network of Zionist organizations with ties to the Israeli far right and even the Trump White House.

Dubai just got hit with its biggest economic stress test in years. The question now: Will global investors keep betting big on the UAE?

President Trump has an Israeli and Saudi asset in his inner circle. It's his son in law, Jared Kushner.

How Kushner used his connections to both Netanyahu and MBS to push Trump to war with Iran?

“If our states don’t intervene… We’ll all be hit by this system,” said Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, when discussing Israel’s disregard for international humanitarian law with Middle East Eye.

Speaking from Berlin, Albanese sat with MEE journalist Pauline Ertel after a screening of a documentary titled Disunited Nations which follows her and the work of other figures at the UN during the height of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

As missiles fly across the Middle East, a parallel war is being fought on smartphones by a group of hackers known as Handala. The US accuses them of belonging to Iranian intelligence.

US Army Chief of Staff General Randy George has been abruptly forced to resign with immediate effect, sparking concern over growing politicisation of the military, as President Donald Trump publicises a new strike on a civilian bridge in Iran that critics say could amount to a war crime.

In Gaza, three-month-old baby Jalal died after battling a rare skin condition. His parents had urgently appealed to the relevant authorities to transfer him outside the strip for life-saving treatment, but nothing happened.

“Every war Israel has fought is a war of defense. Every war, they were attacked first,” that’s what Bill Maher claimed on his HBO show ‘Real Time.’

Maher urged Democrats to spread this message to younger voters who, according to him, don’t know anything about the history of the region and get their information only from TikTok.

In his latest scathing ‘Debunked’ monologue, Mehdi sets the record straight and brings the receipts to show Israel’s long history of aggression in the wars of 1956, 1967, and 1982.

And history seems to be repeating itself right now as Israel again attacks or starts wars of aggression in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and beyond.

Mehdi’s message to Maher and the pro-Israel brigade in this must-watch explainer video is clear: Israeli aggression is nothing new. “Israel is attacking its neighbors, attacking Arab countries, without justification, and in violation of international law. And they’re doing it again right now, to Iran,” he says.

“Our own government is not doing a damn thing about [Palestinian-Americans being murdered by Israelis].”

Mehdi asks Senator Chris Van Hollen why the ‘America First’ Trump administration has failed to hold Israel accountable for the murder of several American citizens.

"Israel is this model of racist domination and exclusion that [authoritarians] would like to practice in their own countries."

Simone Zimmerman and Palestinian-American scholar Tareq Baconi discuss why global authoritarian movements have historically supported Israel.
