The late U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski saw the world in the framework of a chessboard and looked for strategies that would keep Washington and Wall…
Ever since Tel Aviv’s 1948 creation, much has been said and written about ‘Greater Israel’ – the notion Zionism’s ultimate end goal is the forcible annexation and ethnic cleansing of vast swaths of Arab lands for Jewish settlement, based on Biblical claims that this territory was promised to Jews by God. The media typically dismisses…
Donald Trump repealed the infamous TikTok ban that took effect briefly, buying more time for a buyout of the app’s parent company. However, depending on whose hands it falls into, the bill’s purpose to ban it may have been fulfilled. As US Congress voted on a TikTok ban in March of last year, it was…
Syria’s de facto ruler, Ahmed al-Shara’a, congratulated Donald Trump upon his inauguration yet refrained from commenting on the Gaza ceasefire. Meanwhile, the new government in Damascus has been taking significant steps to prove its willingness to work with the U.S., yet it still hasn’t been granted complete legitimacy. Donald Trump “is the leader to bring…
On his first day in office, Donald Trump lifted all sanctions previously placed on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, a political move that coincided with a series of violent attacks by Israeli settlers targeting Palestinians that same night. While the President has publicly committed to combating violent extremism, extremist settler groups continue to finance…
Israel wasted no time following the abrupt collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria. Within hours of Assad’s fall on December 8, 2024, Israeli forces seized the buffer zone separating the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from the rest of Syria. They raised Israel’s flag atop Mount Hermon. More than a month later, Israeli troops remain stationed…
The coming year is promising to be a crucial one in the history of West Asia. Just weeks have passed since the ouster of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad and his replacement with pro-Western leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. Syria was a key member of the so-called “Axis of Resistance” – a coalition of actors opposing Israel and…
As Los Angeles battles historic wildfires, residents are demanding accountability for why the city’s fire department faced budget cuts while greater disaster preparedness measures were overlooked. These frustrations have fueled questions about the prioritization of aid to Israel and Ukraine. Just months before the wildfires ravaged the city, LA Mayor Karen Bass approved the budget…
A senior BBC editor at the center of an ongoing scandal into the network’s systematic pro-Israel bias is, in fact, a former member of a CIA propaganda outfit, MintPress News can reveal. Raffi Berg, an Englishman who heads the BBC’s Middle East desk, formerly worked for the U.S. State Department’s Foreign Broadcast Information Service, a…
It is not just isolated voices advocating for normalization; the new Syrian government and its backers appear determined to establish ties with Israel, even as Israel continues its occupation of Syrian territory and the bombardment of what remains of its infrastructure. While apologists attempt to justify Damascus’s Israel-friendly comments, the writing on the wall has…
A flood of devastating new testimonies documenting the systemic sexual abuse of Palestinian men and women by Israeli soldiers has surfaced in recent weeks. Yet, as these harrowing accounts gain traction amongst human rights groups and international organizations, Western media has conspicuously turned its focus elsewhere—amplifying Israel’s poorly corroborated claims against Hamas. Following a raid…
Israeli lobbyists, organizations, and former intelligence operatives are actively working behind the scenes to suppress free speech, stifle debate at academic institutions, ban advocacy groups, and curtail the right to assembly. This coordinated effort has intensified during the ongoing Gaza war, with substantial complicity from Western governments and major social media platforms. On December 17,…
In a calculated effort to stoke anti-Muslim hysteria, pro-Israeli right-wing social media accounts distorted the facts surrounding a tragic car-ramming attack on a German Christmas parade. This manipulation aligns with a broader trend of reviving post-9/11 Islamophobia to advance imperialist war narratives that ultimately benefit Israel. When news broke that a Saudi-born man was responsible…

Entering his second term, President Donald Trump ripped the curtain off the myth of U.S. democracy being “of, by and for the people.” So far, at least 14 billionaires, including Trump,…
In December, The Jerusalem Post published an investigation from Nicholas Potter, a “counter-extremism expert,” who falsely accused MintPress News of being part of a network of far-left, foreign government-funded outlets that push conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic extremism. The claims are untrue and are particularly ironic, considering the calls for the extermination and expulsion of Palestinians…
