• 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 (…)

• التهيئة للحرب الأهلية (١٩٧٥-١٩٩٠) [٢/٢]: النخبة تُسقِط شــرعية الدولة
  11 أيار (مايو) 2014, بقلم ألبر داغر

  مثّل الرئيس حلو مرشّح تسوية في المنازلة بين الأقطاب الموالين للشهابية ومعارضيها. وحين أجريت الانتخابات التي أتت بالرئيس فرنجيه، كانت ثمة ثلاث كتل في البرلمان هي الحلف والنهج والكتلة الوسطية. كان الرئيس أحد مؤسسي هذه الأخيرة، ومعادياً للشهابية.
  ضرب الجيش
  سوف تكون انتخابات ١٩٧٠، ومجيء الرئيس فرنجيه سبباً لانكفاء الشهابية وما مثلته لجهة دور الجيش و«المكتب الثاني». يشير الدكتور الصليبي إلى أن الجيش أظهر وحدة وتماسكاً مشهودين خلال المواجهات مع المنظمات الفلسطينية علم ١٩٦٩ (الصليبي، ١٩٧٦: ٥٣). (…)

• #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 (…)

• 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 (…)

• 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 (…)

• 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 (…)

• Manifest Destiny and Israel
  16 April 2008, by Uri Avnery

  NEXT MONTH, Israel will celebrate its 60th anniversary. The government is working feverishly to make this day into an occasion of joy and jubilation. While serious problems are crying out for funds, some 40 million dollars have been allocated to this aim.
  Bur the nation is in no mood for celebrations. It is gloomy. From all directions the government is blamed for this gloom. "They have no agenda" is the refrain, "Their only concern is their own survival." (The word "agenda", with its (…)

• Victorious, but vilified: Israel has ’destroyed its image and its soul’
  18 January 2009, by Donald Macintyre, Kim Sengupta

  After three weeks of carnage in Gaza, there were tentative signs of a ceasefire last night. But the bitter legacy of the past 22 days for Israel is that, while it declares victory on the battlefield, the country’s reputation has rarely sunk so low.
  Yesterday the United Nations called for a war crimes investigation after two children, aged five and seven, were killed when, it claimed, an Israeli tank shell hit a school sheltering some of the more than 40,000 internally displaced refugees. (…)

• 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, (…)

• 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 (…)
