Tariq Ali
JOURNALIST
“The real tragedy of Palestine is not just the suffering of its people, but that their fight for justice has been used as a pretext for anti-Semitism by some, while others use the charge of anti-Semitism to silence any criticism of Israeli policies.”
Context
Tariq Ali has been a consistent critic of Israeli policies toward Palestinians throughout his career, writing extensively about the conflict in various books and articles. His positions emerged from his broader anti-imperialist worldview and solidarity with what he views as liberation movements.
