• 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 (…)
• حسابات الربح والخسارة في اعادة انتخاب الاسد
  1 تموز (يوليو) 2014, بقلم ريمون عطاالله
  ختم الاخضر الابراهيمي الموفد الخاص للامم المتحدة وللجامعة العربية الى سوريا مهمته باستقالة تلاها كلام اراده نقطة على الحرف. فالديبلوماسي الجزائري لم يكن ذاك الوسيط الذي ارضى دمشق التي طالما عكست تصريحاتها نفوراً من تصرفاته وتجاوزاته لمهمته، ليس آخرها ما جاء على لسانه قبيل استقالته من ان اجراء الانتخابات الرئاسية السورية سيبعد البلاد اكثر فاكثر عن قطار الحل السياسي. كما انه عبّر عما لم تسمح له مهمته الرسمية بقوله عن العقدة الاساس في الحرب السورية وهي تهافت الغرب وبعض العرب وتركيا على (…)
• Gideon Levy / An open response to A.B. Yehoshua
  18 January 2009, by Gideon Levy
  Dear Bulli, Thank you for your frank letter and kind words. You wrote it was written from a "position of respect," and I, too, deeply respect your wonderful literary works. But, unfortunately, I have a lot less respect for your current political position. It is as if the mighty, including you, have succumbed to a great and terrible conflagration that has consumed any remnant of a moral backbone. You, too, esteemed author, have fallen prey to the wretched wave that has inundated, (…)
• My message to the West – Israel must stop the slaughter
  18 January 2009, by Ismail Haniyeh
  I 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 (…)
• « Protocole de Doha » : fin de l’Etat syrien ?
  12 décembre 2012, par Noureddine Merdaci
  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, (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
• #opIsrael – Anonymous stands by Palestine in this time of war and grief
  17 November 2012
  Greetings World For far too long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called “Occupied Territories” by the Israel Defense Force. Like so many around the globe, we have felt helpless in the face of such implacable evil. And today’s insane attack and threatened invasion of Gaza was more of the same. But when the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all (…)
• 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 (…)
• Gaza, remember?
  19 April 2009, by Gideon Levy
  Alyan Abu-Aun is lying in his tent, his crutches beside him. He smokes cigarettes and stares into the tiny tent’s empty space. His young son sits on his lap. Ten people are crammed into the tent, about the size of a small room. It has been their home for three months. Nothing remains of their previous home, which the Israel Defense Forces shelled during Operation Cast Lead. They are refugees for a second time; Abu-Aun’s mother still remembers her home in Sumsum, a town that once stood near (…)
