Il faudra sans doute attendre encore des mois, certainement des années, avant que ne soit reconstitué le processus par lequel la Syrie s’est retrouvée piégée dans cette guerre civile. A l’évidence, Damas n’en a pas mesuré la dangerosité, non seulement pour le régime en place mais, singulièrement, pour la Syrie qui risque de disparaître en tant qu’Etat national. Or, le voile commence à se lever sur les circonstances du « conclave » qui s’est tenu à Doha au début du mois de novembre dernier, (…)

The language of Zionism
13 May 2010, by Joseph MassadThe reason for the ongoing "violence" in Israel and Palestine is not on account of Israeli colonialism at all but rather a direct result of mistranslation. Joseph Massad provides an abridged lexicon of Zionist terminology

Israeli Economy for Beginners
14 August 2011, by Gilad AtzmonWe learn from the press and political analysts that, against all odds and in spite of the global financial turmoil, Israel’s economy is booming. Some even suggest that Israel is one of the strongest economies around.
‘How come?’ you may ask; besides maybe avocado, oranges, and some Dead Sea beauty products, none of us has actually ever seen an Israeli product on the shelves. They don’t make cars; nor do they make electric or electronic appliances, and they hardly manufacture any (…) -
State of recognition
24 September 2011, by Joseph MassadWhether the UN grants the PA status as a state or refuses to do so, either outcome will be in Israel’s interest.
What is at stake in Barack Obama’s vehement refusal to recognise Palestine as a mini-state with a disfigured geography and no sovereignty, and his urging the world community not to recognise it while threatening the Palestinians with retribution? What is the relationship between Obama’s refusal to recognise Palestine and his insistence on recognising Israel’s right to be a (…) -
Devouring Jerusalem
1 May 2009, by Khalid AmayrehIn its increasingly rabid efforts to consolidate control of traditionally Arab-East Jerusalem, Israel this week moved to suppress Palestinian cultural activities associated with the city being declared the capital of Arab culture for 2009.
On 19 March heavily armed paramilitary police violently dispersed a meeting at the Ambassador Hotel in East Jerusalem, confiscating posters, leaflets, placards and computers.
Israeli police also raided schools, social clubs and community centres to (…) -
Utopia as Alibi: Said, Barenboim and the Divan Orchestra
20 December 2009, by Raymond DeanAs a classical musician involved in pro-Palestinian activism, I frequently encounter the assumption that I am an unconditional admirer of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (WEDO). My reservations on this score tend to produce shocked disapproval: How could I not enthuse about such an idealistic project, particularly since it was co-founded by the late Edward Said, a figure for whom I have frequently expressed respect and admiration?
In truth, I have always been a little wary of Said’s (…) -
كيف هرب القذافي الى الجحيم؟
6 كانون الأول (ديسمبر) 2011, بقلم ريمون عطااللهبصرف النظر عن طبيعة الحكم العشوائي الذي كان قائماً في ليبيا بقيادة العقيد المغدور معمر القذافي، فقد كان الزعيم الليبي الراحل رجلاً ذا نكهة في السياسة العربية والدولية. ومما يزيد من طعم نكهته ان الذين انقلبوا عليه من اهل حكمه، بدفع من قوى خارجية، كانوا طيلة عقود ينفذون ارادته من غير نقاش، وهم الذين ارتكبوا بأيديهم ما نسبوه تالياً اليه لادانته. واسطع دليل على ذلك مصطفى عبدالجليل رئيس المجلس الانتقالي نفسه الذي كان وزيراً للعدل في زمن القذافي، حيث كانت العدالة في ايامه عدالة قراقوشية تشهد عليها (…)

من تحرير الوطن لهيمنة إيديولوجيا التسوية وانتهاء ب "الكلبشة" للمصارف
11 تموز (يوليو) 2010, بقلم د. عادل سمارةصار مألوفاً ذلك الصوت المنبعث من متعدد، كلما تبدَّت أزمة المفاوضات على السطح ، مرددا: سنحل السلطة، أو حِلُّو السلطة...! ولكن السلطة باقية.
يعيدنا هذا الحديث إلى الكثير مما قيل بشأنها. بعض القوى الفلسطينية رددت منذ مفاوضات مدريد اوسلو أنها سوف تُسقط أوسلو. ومن يتذكر لا بد يستحضر نصائح وُجهت إليهم حينها: «قولوا نحن ضد اوسلو...فلو كان بوسعنا إسقاطها لما حصلت» اي لا ترفعوا شعارات يبين للناس سريعاً أنكم غير قادرين على التقدم بها وإنجازها.... ومع السنين بقي شعار : «نحن ضد اوسلو» ...بينما ينخرط (…) -
My message to the West – Israel must stop the slaughter
18 January 2009, by Ismail HaniyehI write this article to Western readers across the social and political spectrum as the Israeli war machine continues to massacre my people in Gaza. To date, almost 1,000 have been killed, nearly half of whom are women and children. Last week’s bombing of the UNRWA (UN Relief Works Agency) school in the Jabalya refugee camp was one of the most despicable crimes imaginable, as hundreds of civilians had abandoned their homes and sought refuge with the international agency only to be (…)
