We have a new foreign policy brain

“”I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don’t think that…

To speak of the Israeli left is like speaking of humane apartheid

“And the left? In this spiritual context no left – which can only exist in a discourse of equality – can have air to breathe. So when the ethos “shut your mouth because we’ll punish you” rules everywhere, Peace Now was bound to disappear and be redu…

There is no uproar in the US press about Israeli Jewish “madrasahs”

“The Ministry of Social Affairs has allocated over 150,000 shekels to the yeshiva since 2007, scholarships for students with financial difficulties studying there. And what can they learn with the help of public funding from the head of the yeshiva,…

Israel Apartheid Month

I was looking at Israeli propaganda press releases. And some of them arrive to me addressed to “Angry Arab News Service”. Some Israeli government propagandist added me on their email list as a news service, I guess. I can tell you that that Israeli …

Censored (and embarrassed) Israeli media

Another accused terrorist/spy for Israel was arrested in Lebanon. And notice that Israeli newspapers merely report what Lebanese media are reporting. They are not permitted to say anything about the matter, which only validates the claims against the…

Your puppet in Afghanistan

Ba`thists and taliban are back

So now, `Ammar Al-Hakim joins Iyad `Allawi (former Saddam’s henchman, car bomber, embezzler-in-Yemen, puppet prime minister) in calling for the return of the Ba`th to political participation. (thanks Hassan)

Dayton’s militia and Fayyad

“Even Israeli hard-liners, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, agree that the improvement in Palestinian security forces is real.” The rest of the article is a tribute to Fayyad and to the PA collaboration militia of oppression that he has s…

Abu Mazen

So after promising that his decision to not seek re-election is final, Abu Mazen now says that he may change his mind after all. I am surprised that anyone believes anything that this chief PA collaborator says.

Egypt versus Algeria

I don’t follow sports but I am delighted that Egypt’s team lost to Algeria. Egyptian victory would have been far more annoying, especially that the regime would have used it as a weird validation of Jamal Mubarak. In fact, Jamal Mubarak, and his brot…

Arab tools of Israel

People sometimes get upset over those Arab tools of Israel (or as Kahlil Gibran (Jubran Khalil Jubran in Arabic) once refers to the phenomenon: “monkey on a rope”). I really don’t. I mean, look at this guy. Look how he writes. I tell people: it con…

Michael Husayn Young Expresses Gratitude to Bush Administration for Saving Lebanon

So according to Michael Husayn Young, the well-known expert on offshoots, the Israeli destruction of Lebanon in 2006 was actually limited due to American humane intervention: “Lest we forget, the scope of Israeli destruction in 2006, though enormous, …
