رامسفبلد لشولتز: لا عدل ولا سلام في الشرق الاوسط بل نزاع وابتزاز وقتل!
25 نيسان (أبريل) 2015, بقلم ريمون عطااللهفي اواخر عام ١٩٨٣ اوفد جورج شولتز، وزير الخارجية الاميركي في ادارة الرئيس رونالد رمغان، مبعوثاً خاصاً الى لبنان والمنطقة لتقصي الاوضاع هناك. والمبعوث هذا هو دونالد رامسفيلد الذي كان وزيراً للدفاع في ادارة الرئيس جيرالد فورد، ثم اصبح لاحقاً وزيراً للدفاع في ادارة الرئيس جورج دبليو بوش يوم تقرر غزو العراق وإطاحة نظام صدام حسين عام ٢٠٠٣. فكان اصغر وزراء الدفاع سناً في تاربخ الولايات المتحدة في ولايته الاولى، وكان اكبر وزراء الدفاع سناً في تاربخ اميركا في ولايتة الثانية. وقد حصل «الديبلوماسي» (…) -
Mahmoud Abbas and Barack Obama: tragic hero vs political prostitute
24 September 2011, by Uri AvneryA 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 (…) -
Learning the Nakba as a condition for peace and reconciliation
5 April 2009, by Norma MusihThe Jewish people in Israel, or at least most of them, live in complete ignorance or even denial of the Palestinian disaster that took place in 1948, the Nakba. The Nakba has no place in the language, the landscape, the environment, and the memory of the Jewish collective in Israel. Traveling in Israel, one may find signposts, landmarks and memorials that create and sustain the Jewish-Israeli narrative. Jewish-Israeli events that took place more than 2,000 years ago are celebrated through (…) -
Arabs-Israelis protest against Jewish state’s ’racism’
19 April 2009Thousands of Arab-Israelis on Monday demonstrated against what they called Israel’s "racism" at a rally commemorating the killing of six people in a 1976 protest against land grabs. Arab-Israeli MPs, mayors and other dignitaries were among the demonstrators in the annual Land Day protest at Deir Hanna village in Israel’s Galilee region. Waving Palestinian flags and green banners - the color of the Islamic movement - as well as the symbols of the various Arab-Israeli parties, the (…) -
Barak Approves More Settlement Units Before Heading To Talk “Peace” in Washington
30 June 2009Hours before he took off to Washington for talks with the US administration on peace and settlements, Israeli Army Minister, Ehud Barak, approved the construction of a new settlement in the so-called Benyamin region. The approval came as part of a deal with the settlers who were evacuated from the illegal Migron settlement outpost. The settlers would move into a new settlement of 250 houses after they evacuate their outpost built on privately owned Palestinian land. Migron is inhibited (…) -
A racist Jewish state
19 April 2009Every day the Knesset has the option of passing laws that will advance Israel as a democratic Jewish state or turn it into a racist Jewish state. There is a very thin line between the two. This week, the line was crossed. If the Knesset legal counselor did not consider the bill entitled "the Jewish National Fund Law" as sufficiently racist to keep it off the agenda, it is hard to imagine what legislation she will consider racist. In 1995 the Supreme Court rescued the state from callously (…) -
La création d’un État palestinien minée par la poursuite de la colonisation en Cisjordanie
28 avril 2009La poursuite au rythme actuel de la colonisation israélienne en Cisjordanie occupée risque d’anéantir les chances de création d’un État palestinien aux côtés d’Israël, a mis en garde hier l’ONG israélienne Ir Amim. « Si la colonisation continue, il sera bientôt trop tard pour une solution au conflit basée sur deux États. Ce sera l’impasse absolue », a averti l’avocat Daniel Seidemann, à la tête de cette ONG, qui s’est spécialisée dans le suivi de la colonisation de la partie orientale de (…) -
Utopia as Alibi: Said, Barenboim and the Divan Orchestra
20 December 2009, by Raymond DeanAs a classical musician involved in pro-Palestinian activism, I frequently encounter the assumption that I am an unconditional admirer of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (WEDO). My reservations on this score tend to produce shocked disapproval: How could I not enthuse about such an idealistic project, particularly since it was co-founded by the late Edward Said, a figure for whom I have frequently expressed respect and admiration? In truth, I have always been a little wary of Said’s (…) -
تضييق اسرائيلي على المسيحيين لتهجيرهم !
22 أيلول (سبتمبر) 2025, بقلم ريمون عطااللهتفاقمت في الآونة الأخيرة أزمة الكنائس المسيحية في القدس مع السلطات الإسرائيلية، وخصوصاً الكنيسة الأرثوذكسية صاحبة المساحات الأكبر من الأراضي والعقارات داخل المدينة المقدسة، حول مشروع القانون المقترح في الكنيست الذي يقضي بمصادرة الأملاك المباعة من الكنائس لمستثمرين خصوصيين. وقد بعث رؤساء الكنائس المسيحية الثلاثة، الأرثوذكسي، والكاثوليكي، والأرمني، برسالة تحذيرية عاجلة الى رئيس الحكومة الإسرائيلية بنيامين نتانياهو، يطالبونه فيها بوقف مشروع القانون المقترح حول بيع الأراضي الوقفية ومصادرتها.

« Protocole de Doha » : fin de l’Etat syrien ?
12 décembre 2012, par Noureddine MerdaciIl 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, (…)
