Lies of the terrorist occupiers
“The threat that Hamas’ ballistic capabilities pose to the people of the Negev is less serious than initially presumed and the residents of the targeted areas are not demonstrating signs of panic, according to an interim analysis by the Israel Defense Forces of the situation nearly a week after the launching of Operation Cast Lead [...]

Coup in Egypt?

Israeli Anarchism
You would expect anarchists, even Israeli anarchists, to be less lame in their protests.

Saudi-Zionist alliance
`Adil Darwish (a founder of a Zionist media organization that aims at promoting the Israeli interets in UK media and favored commentator in Saudi media) justifies Israeli killings of Palestinian children in the mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat. The Saudi Wahhabi alliance with Zionism makes sense: and both sides deserve one another. No wonder [...]

Terrorist son of a terrorist
The New York Times will tomorrow tell the story of this child. They will tell you that he was loading missiles to launch against peaceful Israel. Also, according to the New York Times’ Isabel Kershner, this child received a warning on his private cellphone but he stubbornly refused to heed it. So he has only [...]

The Israeli "peace camp"
“The demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Tzahala residents, there’s a murderer in your neighborhood,” and raised signs calling on the government to “put a stop to the murder of civilians” and stating, “Halutz is a killer, the intifada shall prevail.” Activists also shouted, “neighbors, ask Halutz why he’s killing children and how many.” Dana Olmert, [...]

Labels for one side only
““People don’t just perceive her as a senator from New York who was very close to Israel,†said Ziad J. Asali, the president of the American Task Force on Palestine, an Arab-American advocacy group that favors a Palestinian state. “They perceive her as a Clinton.— OK, notice that this Dahlan lobbying group in DC is [...]

A Jordanian Parliamentarian
A Jordanian “parliamentary” delegation is visiting Lebanon. My brother, Midhat (who is an employee at the Lebanese parliament) was introduced to them. When he said his name, a member of the delegation said: There is this As`ad AbuKhalil, and then he started to curse me. My brother told him that he was my brother. I [...]

Not a collaborator
Al-Arabiyya TV just reported the murder of a Palestinian child by Israeli terrorism in Hayy Ash-Shuja`iyyah in Gaza. NYT’s Taghreed El-Khodary will not shed tears for her: she is not a collaborator. El-Khodoary only worries about the plight of collaborators in Gaza. And Human Rights Watch will not comment on any Palestinian death without talking [...]

Negation of the Negation
The dialectics of colonial oppression in the age of digital and live TV is quite remarkable. I was looking at a scene of a burial of children in Gaza on AlJazeera: and it hit me. Israeli brutality and terrorism are raising a new generation of angry and vengeful Arabs who will never accept Israel in [...]

Khalid Mish`al
So AlJazeera spoke on Aljazeera TV. He only confirms the perception i have of him: that he is a lousy speaker who has the oratorical skills of Husni Mubarak. The most obscene part of his lousy speech was his reference to “praisewrothy” efforts of Arab governments. Arab governemnts are participatns in the attacks on Gaza [...]

Israeli Daily Propaganda Service at NYT: Isabel Kershner in Action
Today, it is the turn of Isabel Kershner from the Israeli propaganda service at the NYT office in Israel. Look at the headline: this is like a newspaper covering the Nazi invasion of Poland with the headline “Hitler steps up diplomacy”. And when you read the article you realize that they are talking about Israeli [...]

Israel’s approval
“Mubarak: No goods to cross in Rafah without Israel’s approval.” But he asked Arabs to understand his position. He said that he does not use the restroom without Israel’s approval.
