• Obama Warned on Syrian Intel
  9 September 2013

  Exclusive: Despite the Obama administration’s supposedly “high confidence” regarding Syrian government guilt over the Aug. 21 chemical attack near Damascus, a dozen former U.S. military and intelligence officials are telling President Obama that they are picking up information that undercuts the Official Story.
  MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
  FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
  SUBJECT: Is Syria a Trap?
  Precedence: IMMEDIATE
  We regret to inform you that some of (…)

• State of recognition
  24 September 2011, by Joseph Massad

  Whether 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 (…)

• Mahmoud Abbas and Barack Obama: tragic hero vs political prostitute
  24 September 2011, by Uri Avnery

  A wonderful speech. A beautiful speech.
  The language expressive and elegant. The arguments clear and convincing. The delivery flawless.
  A work of art. The art of hypocrisy. Almost every statement in the passage concerning the Israeli-Palestinian issue was a lie. A blatant lie: the speaker knew it was a lie, and so did the audience.
  It was Obama at his best, Obama at his worst.
  Being a moral person, he must have felt the urge to vomit. Being a pragmatic person, he knew that he had to (…)

• عودة «الاخوان المسلمين» الى الحضن الاميركي
  9 تموز (يوليو) 2011, بقلم ريمون عطاالله

  يجمع المراقبون على انه لم يعد سراً ان ادارة الرئيس باراك اوباما في واشنطن تجري اتصالات ومفاوضات مع جماعة «الاخوان المسلمين» في مصر، وربما في غير مصر. هذه الاتصالات تجري على صعيد البيت الابيض نفسه، وعلى صعيد وزارة الخارجية، وعلى صعيد اجهزة الاستخبارات الوطنية. لكن هذا الموضوع ما زال مدار خلاف داخل الولايات المتحدة وداخل مصر، خصوصاً مع شباب «ثورة ٢٥ يناير» التي اطاحت نظام الرئيس حسني مبارك.
  برزت ملامح هذا الخلاف في واشنطن خلال مناقشة لجنة الاستخبارت الوطنية في مجلس النواب قبل اربعة اشهر (…)

• Netanyahu, Obama et l’épreuve du changement
  8 mai 2009, par Emilie Sueur

  Le 30 avril, Barack Obama passait le cap des 100 jours de sa présidence. Chiffre symbole qui a donné lieu à toute une série d’analyses sur la politique du nouveau président. Le vrai test néanmoins, le cap au passage duquel il sera intéressant de juger la politique étrangère d’Obama et sa volonté, revendiquée lors de la campagne, de « changement » par rapport à l’administration Bush, aura lieu dans quelques jours, lors de sa rencontre, prévue à la mi-mai, avec le Premier ministre israélien, (…)

• Criminalizing Criticism of Israel
  8 May 2009, by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

  On October 16, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the Israel Lobby’s bill, the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act. This legislation requires the US Department of State to monitor anti-semitism world wide.
  To monitor anti-semitism, it has to be defined. What is the definition? Basically, as defined by the Israel Lobby and Abe Foxman, it boils down to any criticism of Israel or Jews.
  Rahm Israel Emanuel hasn’t been mopping floors at the White House. As soon as he gets the Hate Crimes (…)

• The Fake Moderation of America’s Moderate Mideast Allies
  4 February 2011, by Asli Bâli, Aziz Rana

  As the Mubarak regime turns to violence in a vain attempt to repress the peaceful protests that have swept Egypt’s streets for over ten days, the risks associated with current U.S. strategy for Egypt and the wider region continue to grow. In its response to the events, the Obama administration has subtly shifted its message, incrementally increasing pressure on the regime over the last week. But the more important story is the remarkable continuities reflected in the administration’s (…)

• Israel’s Constant Crisis
  31 December 2008, by Justin Raimondo

  As the Israelis continue to pound Gaza, killing Hamas cadre, traffic cops, and civilians alike, Americans shake their heads and wonder: why can’t they all just get along? Why must we be involved? The answer to both questions lies in understanding the peculiar nature of the Israeli state and its "special relationship" to the West, specifically the U.S.
  Defenders of the Israeli government and its policies often complain that Israel just wants to be treated as a "normal country," like any (…)

• Le lobby pro-israélien et la politique étrangère américaine
  17 novembre 2007, par John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt

  Le pouvoir politique du lobby ne vient pas de son poids sur les déclarations des candidats à la présidentielle pendant la campagne, mais de son influence considérable sur la politique étrangère américaine, en particulier au Moyen-orient. Les interventions américaines dans cette zone hypersensible ont d’importantes conséquences sur les habitants des quatre coins de la planète, et surtout ceux de cette région. Voyez seulement à quel point la guerre en Irak de l’administration Bush a affecté le (…)

• The End of History
  20 October 2010, by Layla Anwar

  The Universe, the Cosmos, Awareness, Consciousness, Love, Hate, Friendship, Life...the triumph of Love over Death....All is made of many levels...so is History.
  There is the Beginning and there is the End. There is the beginning of Civilization and there is the end of Civilization...and there are the gray areas in between, the pangs of Death and Rebirth.
  History’s many levels are made of beginnings and ends...and those gray areas. Some beginnings illuminate the world and some of its (…)
