We always hear about the “traitor rhetoric” in Lebanese politics. Nothing exemplifies this more than the recent uncovering of Israeli spies. Apparently, one spy is thought to have links to the Hariri’s Future Movement. Hezbollah wasted no time in jumping on this as proof that the Future Movement are in cahoots with the enemy and [...]

After three years of refusing to hand over maps of where cluster bombs were dropped, Israel finally handed them over this week. Of course, had Israel handed over the maps earlier, countless deaths could have been avoided. Meanwhile, the international community hardly made a peep while Israel took their sweet time for no logical reason other [...]

This morning Now Lebanon published an article in which the former investigator into the assassination of Rafiq Hariri, Detlev Mehlis, explained some of the facts surrounding the investigation. Most importantly, he dismissed criticism coming form the March 8/Hezbollah camp that the investigation has been politicized.
The pro-Syrian “opposition” has been celebrating the release recently of the four heads of security that [...]

I am now reading Ilan Pappe’s book about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the racist Zionist movement. You can also read about it on wikipedia and see all the sides and sources of the history of the 1947-49 war. It makes me furious to read in such detail how deliberate the Zionist policy was [...]
Oh my god, they are becoming like our leaders!

An Israeli official asked that the swine flu currently raging in Mexico and other countries be renamed the Mexican flu, according to an article in BBC Arabic. His reasoning is that the current name insults Jews and Muslims. Never mind that Israeli officials have never really shown much sensitivity to Muslims in the past, but [...]
No peace so long as Israel continues to play roughshod

As long as Israel continues to flaunt the basic rights of the Palestinians and so long as it does not rectify the basic injustice committed when the state was established in 1948, peace in Lebanon and the region will never be. We will always suffer from instability. Why? Because we will have the forces supprting [...]
The Jewish sect in Lebanon to be renamed
Posted in Society, tagged Israel, Lebanese Jews, Lebanon, Middle East, Sectarianism on April 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The Jewish sect in Lebanon has since the 1930s been known officially as the “Israeli” sect. According to the Minister of Interior, this naming was a confused translation of the original French term for “Jewish” and it preceded the creation of the Israeli state. As a result, Jews in Lebanon were referred unintentionally as Israeli, [...]

This week, Hezbollah’s true intentions were revealed when Egypt uncovered Hezbollah’s activities on its own soil. Hezbollah appeared to deny the serious accusations leveled by the Egyptian authorities, but in fact went on to admit that the person arrested there was indeed a member of Hezbollah, and that he was there on official Hezbollah business.

One day, Israel will pay the price
Posted in Foreign Affairs, tagged Israel, Palestine, Peace on February 13, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Israel was created by shear shrewdness and utter disregard for the rights of a people, the Palestinians. Zionism found unimagined success in their efforts to create a Jewish state in Palestine. Thanks to a strong PR effort combined with well-organized military plan and international support, today Israel is a powerful country and the Palestinians an [...]

I have often been asked what Israel should do in order for the Arab countries to accept Israel in the region. Here is a very general overview of what is needed. In order to achieve peace in the Middle East and end the long lasting Palestinian-Israeli dispute, here is what Israel needs to do:
