Ray Hanania is an award-winning columnist, author & former Chicago City Hall reporter (1977-1992). A veteran who served during the Vietnam War he is the recipient of four SPJ Peter Lisagor Awards for column writing, (1985, 2002, 2006, 2009) and the National Sigma Delta Chi Award. Hanania was named “Best Ethnic American Columnist” by the New America Media in November 2006.

Hanania writes weekly opinion columns on mainstream American & Chicagoland topics for the Southwest News-Herald, Des Plaines Valley News, the Regional News, The Reporter Newspapers, and Suburban Chicagoland.

Hanania also writes about Middle East issues for the Arab News, Middle East Monitor, and The Arab Daily News analyzing government policies in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict & Arab World. A critic of mainstream news media bias, Hanania advocates for peace & justice for Israel & Palestine, & the empowerment of Arabs in America.

“I write about three topics, the Middle East, politics and life in general. I often take my life experiences and offer them in an entertaining way to readers, and I take on the toughest topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict and don’t pull any punches about what I feel is fair. But, my priority is always about writing the good story.”

What Editor & Publisher Magazine says about Ray Hanania: Dec. 28, 2006 — “Ray Hanania, a former Creators columnist who’s now self-syndicated, is a Palestinian-American writer married to a Jewish woman. He writes about Mideast issues in an evenhanded way that makes him seem positively radical in a sea of columnists who back Israel almost unconditionally. Hanania’s approach, as former President Jimmy Carter discovered with his latest book, is not popular with much of the mainstream media. But it would be interesting if U.S. dailies followed the lead of Israeli newspapers in allowing a much wider spectrum of debate about Mideast issues. By the way, Hanania is also a stand-up comedian who’s hilarious when he opts to use humor.”

Hanania launched a standup comedy career immediately after Sept 11, 2001 bringing together Palestinians and Israelis to promote peace and coexistence. He was immediately attacked by Palestinian fanatics, Arab comedians and Israeli extremists who all reject “normalization” and the performance of Palestinians and Israelis together on the same stage. Many Arab comedians only perform with Jews, and many Jewish commedians boycott Palestinians. In August 2002, Hanania was removed from a show at Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago by Jewish Comedian Jackie Mason. Click here to read about the incident.
