Fear Not
19 August 2010, by Israel Shamir1. 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 of Fidel Castro. It fits with the recent heating up of the Gaza and Lebanon borders. It fits with the (…) -
Arab Rulers and MERCOSUR Trade Agreement with Israel
30 December 2007, by Adel SamaraA whole year went by between the visit of the elected Brazilian President Lula De Silva’s to some Arab countries, that are governed by unelected rulers, and the signing of an economic agreement between the Zionist regime and MERCOSUR, the common market for Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

إنّهم يفترون كذِباً على القــراصنة
8 آب (أغسطس) 2009, بقلم يوهان هاريمَن 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 (…)
