• A powerful but masochistic expression of gratitude by the USA to Israel
  13 June 2010, by Mark Glenn
  Today, while driving through town, I wound up behind a minivan that had a big sticker on the back. The sticker had an Israeli flag in the middle of it and under it the quotation from the book of Genesis that reads "I will bless those who bless thee." I would like to take this time to list my own reasons for thanking and blessing Israel, our lone ally in the Middle East, for everything she has done for us, since I am quite sure most Americans are unaware of just what kind of friend she has (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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, (…)
• 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 (…)
• U.S. drops spy charges against two ex-AIPAC officials
  3 May 2009
  Federal prosecutors moved Friday to dismiss espionage-related charges against two former pro-Israel lobbyists accused of disclosing classified U.S. defense information, ending a tortuous inside-the-Beltway legal battle rife with national security intrigue. Critics of the prosecution of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee accused the federal government of trying to criminalize the sort of back-channel discussions between government officials, (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
