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 [...]

Lebanon suffers from a drug problem
Posted in Politics, tagged Foreign Aid, Iran, Lebanon, Middle East, Saudi Arabia, United States on April 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Lebanon is a country suffering from something similar to a drug addiction, in the form of the financial support various political parties receive from outside the country. How can we expect a country to function properly if those who are supposed to be loyal to the Lebanese voter, to the Lebanese constitution, and to Lebanese [...]
No peace so long as Israel continues to play roughshod
Posted in Foreign Affairs, tagged Israel, Lebanon, Middle East, Palestine, Peace, Refugees, United States on April 28, 2009 | 5 Comments »
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 [...]
Is he for real?
Posted in Journalism, tagged Al-Hurra, United States on February 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I just found out that some guy named Robert Satloff has a program on Al-Hurra TV. Al-Hurra being an Arabic-language TV, Satloff actually does his program in Arabic, a language it seems he has barely mastered. No really, the guy thinks he can get away with reading like a ten year old from a teleprompter? [...]
Obama to keep current minister of defense

I just found out that the coming US president Barak Obama will be keeping the current minister of defense, Robert Gates. I was stunned to find out. On the face of it, the move does not send that signal of change everyone was expecting.
I think I can understand how Obama would make such a decision [...]
Naked politics!

The recent recognition of the Ukrainian Holodomor, the 1932-33 famine, as a crime against humanity by the US and the EU parliament is an example of how politics will always be politics. Now, as the “west” tries to lure countries bordering on Russia into its camp, the elected prostitutes have decided that the famine was [...]

The world woke up this morning to a brighter day, a brighter future, as we learned that Barack Obama was elected the next president of the USA. I want to thank all Americans who voted for him, for their bravery to believe in a better tomorrow for all of us. Yes, all of the citizens [...]
Can Lebanon deliver?

This is an article I prefer not to write. But it must nonetheless be written.
In our overbearing reliance on other countries and the international community for our affairs of state, there comes a time when we Lebanese have to answer the following: what can we offer?
I know this is an extremely cynical proposition, but nothing [...]
The US condemns Russia… or itself?

The Russians today recognized the independence of the two breakaway Georgian regions. According to the BBC:
US President George Bush warned his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, that his “irresponsible decision” was exacerbating tensions in the region.
Now, why is the US reaction to such an act of “emancipation” so gloomy? If it’s in Iraqi Kurdistan, the US [...]
Israel’s demise

Anything for Eretz Israel!
Killing, lies, forced transfer, theft, expropriation, all in the name of a dream for a Great Jewish State. What happens when its achieved? What then? After all the region’s people have been defeated and forced to live by Israel’s rules, where then? Israel can live in peace in a desolate world of [...]
