mon humanité
“Je me suis réveillé pour trouver une copie de ce morceau de conneries dans ma boîte de réception. Je ne peux pas dire que j’ai été surpris, parce que j’ai vu le nom de Daniel Barenboim en haut, et je n’ai jamais attendu grand-chose de lui. Je n’ai jamais aimé ni eu confiance en cet [...]

This is Zionism
“Israeli forces took a Palestinian boy from Ash-Shuweikah near Tulkarem after invading the northern suburb which abuts the separation wall on Friday. Palestinian Security sources identified the boy as 13-year-old Ahmad A’dnan Ash-Sheikh Yousef. He was taken while playing in front of his family as soldiers invaded the area and fired ammunition and sound bombs. [...]

Meet an Israeli "peace" champion
Notice that she refers to the destruction of buildings in Gaza as surgical: “I watched Israeli fighter planes surgically pulverizing buildings and their occupants on Israeli television.” But she then tells you exactly where she stands (and where the Nation magazine stands): “On the other hand, the viciousness of the criticism of Israel has all [...]

Dahlan Shop in DC
“I am secular to the bone and agnostic. I do not support Hamas. But they are not the reason for the occupation and the continued displacement of our people. If ATFP is objective and focuses on working to build Palestinian unity to facilitate a move toward peace, then ATFP should fight the corruption, treason and [...]

for one thing
“For one, the Likud Party Charter and platform does not recognize a Palestinian state. It specifically states that the settlements are “the realization of Zionist values†and that it will “prevent their uprooting.†It goes on to say that “The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the [...]

Ex-Nazis
“Until political winds shifted, ex-Nazis were welcomed in Egypt in the years after World War II, helping in particular with military technology.” Oh, really. Like ex-Nazis were not welcomed in the West “helping in particular with military technology”? Or is it cute only when the West does it? And what about the Nazi Anwar Sadat? [...]

Robrt Worth on LBC’s Basmat Watan
First notice the headline of this article. The article then mentions in passing that Khalil supports `Awn who is aligned with Hizbullah. Worth does not report that Khalil has been praising Hasan Nasrallah for the last three years. Personally, I hate this show and I can’t watch a minute of it. It is not that [...]

US Taxpayers’ money to Bin Ladenites in North Lebanon
It seems that US AID money went to the Muftitititi in Lebanon. His local Muftitititi in `Akkar, Usamah Ar-Rifa`i, is a well-known Bin Ladenite who (allegedly) recruited fighters for Zarqawi in Iraq. And this project (which received US money) is run by none other than Rif`ai. It would not be the first time that US [...]

Saudi censorship (Western-approved, like Israeli censorship)
Sources in Saudi Arabia tell me that Reuters’ correspondent in Saudi Arabia, Andrew Hammond, one of the most knowledgeable reporters in the Middle East today, was kicked out of Saudi Arabia. He was asked to leave because he veered off the official story that Prince Sultan came to US for hospitalization. The Saudi government pressured [...]

Avi Shlaim is in love: When the King Hit the Sky like a big pizza pie
Avi Shlaim is in love. It is official. He is in love with the Hashemite royal family in Jordan, and he wrote a 700-page tribute to King Husayn. His book, Lion of Jordan, is worse than a hagiography: it is an official work of royal propaganda based on royal fabrications and lies. I mean, where [...]
