• Syria: The hidden massacre
  11 May 2014, by Sharmine Narwani
  The attack took place shortly after the first stirrings of trouble in the southern Syrian city of Daraa in March 2011. Several old Russian-made military trucks packed with Syrian security forces rolled onto a hard slope on a valley road between Daraa al-Mahata and Daraa al-Balad. Unbeknown to the passengers, the sloping road was slick with oil poured by gunmen waiting to ambush the troops. Brakes were pumped as the trucks slid into each other, but the shooting started even before the (…)
• Israel’s fabricated rocket crisis
  5 April 2009, by Jim Holstun, Joanna Tinker
  In The Iron Wall (2001), Israeli historian Avi Shlaim shows that in July 1981, US diplomat Philip Habib brokered a ceasefire between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel. For the next year, the PLO infuriated Israel by refusing to violate the ceasefire and thereby provide an excuse for Israel’s long-planned attack on PLO refugee camps and bases in Lebanon. Then, on 3 June 1982, a member of the Abu Nidal organization shot and wounded Shlomo Argov, the Israeli ambassador in (…)
• Israel’s Righteous Fury and its Victims in Gaza
  9 January 2009, by Ilan Pappe
  My visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice — even louder than the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a subject (…)
• 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 (…)
• The time of the righteous
  10 January 2009, by Gideon Levy
  This war, perhaps more than its predecessors, is exposing the true deep veins of Israeli society. Racism and hatred are rearing their heads, as is the impulse for revenge and the thirst for blood. The "inclination of the commander" in the Israel Defense Forces is now "to kill as many as possible," as the military correspondents on television describe it. And even if the reference is to Hamas fighters, this inclination is still chilling. The unbridled aggression and brutality are justified (…)
• Logique de purification ethnique à Gaza
  6 janvier 2009, par Dominique Eddé
  Quel est le bénéfice attendu par Israël, au terme de cette énième entreprise de bombardement, "Plomb durci" ? Sécuriser les citoyens israéliens. Anéantir le Hamas. Connaît-on un cas de figure ayant prouvé, par le passé, que la méthode pouvait marcher ? L’opération "Raisins de la colère", accompagnée du massacre de Cana, au Liban, en 1996 ? Elle a renforcé le Hezbollah et s’est soldée par le retrait des troupes israéliennes du Liban sud en 2000. L’opération "Rempart à Jénine", au printemps (…)
• إنّهم يفترون كذِباً على القــراصنة
  8 آب (أغسطس) 2009, بقلم يوهان هاري
  مَن كان يتصوّر أن حكومات العالَم عام ٢٠٠٩، ستعلِن حرباً جديدةً على القراصنة؟ كما قرأتُم، تبحرُ البحريةُ الملكيةُ، تساندها سفنٌ من حوالَى عشرين دولة من الولايات المتحدة إلى الصين، في المياه الصومالية، للقبض على أشرارٍ ما زالوا يُقَدَّمونَ والببغاواتُ على أكتافهم. وسرعان ما سوف يقاتلون سفناً صوماليةً، أو يطاردون القراصنة على اليابسة في بلدٍ من أتعسِ بلدان الدنيا. لكن وراء الأكمة ما وراءها. ثمّة فضيحةٌ لا يعرفها أحد. فالناسُ الموصوفون بأنهم أخطرُ مَن يتهدّدُنا، لديهم قصةٌ يروونها وحقٌّ (…)
• Qui veut détruire le Liban
  16 mai 2007, par Béatrice Patrie, Emmanuel Espanol
  Une guerre préméditée L’Etat d’Israël avait-il été surpris par l’accrochage entre une de ses patrouilles et le Hezbollah ? Cette question pose la problématique de la préméditation et de l’intensité de la riposte israélienne. Dans un entretien au mensuel du judaïsme français, L’Arche, le général Kaplinsky, numéro deux de Tsahal, présentait plusieurs mois avant la guerre sa vision de la situation du Hezbollah libanais. Il évaluait à 10 000 missiles la capacité de frappe du mouvement et (…)
• Fear Not
  19 August 2010, by Israel Shamir
  1. Crying Wolf So many people have circulated so many warnings of the forthcoming US-Israeli attack on Iran that it is hard to ignore them. A piece written by a few ex-spooks warning of a new round of war is one of these messages. In our view, spooks, ex or not, are not the most reliable people, and the CIA is not the best reference. However, this item fits with the dire predictions and accompanying Israeli U-boats to the shores of Iran. Rumours of Israeli advance forces being placed in (…)
• Margaret Thatcher’s Criminal Legacy
  14 April 2013, by Finian Cunningham
  Hours after the death of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, the history books are being re-written and the beatification of the Iron Lady is well underway. Current British premier David Cameron praised Lady Thatcher for having “saved Britain” and for making the has-been colonial power “great again”. Tributes poured forth from French and German leaders, Francoise Hollande and Angela Merkel, while US President Barack Obama said America had lost a “special friend”. Former (…)
