• State of recognition
  24 September 2011, by Joseph Massad
  Whether the UN grants the PA status as a state or refuses to do so, either outcome will be in Israel’s interest. What is at stake in Barack Obama’s vehement refusal to recognise Palestine as a mini-state with a disfigured geography and no sovereignty, and his urging the world community not to recognise it while threatening the Palestinians with retribution? What is the relationship between Obama’s refusal to recognise Palestine and his insistence on recognising Israel’s right to be a (…)
• 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 (…)
• U.S. drops spy charges against two ex-AIPAC officials
  3 May 2009
  Federal prosecutors moved Friday to dismiss espionage-related charges against two former pro-Israel lobbyists accused of disclosing classified U.S. defense information, ending a tortuous inside-the-Beltway legal battle rife with national security intrigue. Critics of the prosecution of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee accused the federal government of trying to criminalize the sort of back-channel discussions between government officials, (…)
• Obama Warned on Syrian Intel
  9 September 2013
  Exclusive: Despite the Obama administration’s supposedly “high confidence” regarding Syrian government guilt over the Aug. 21 chemical attack near Damascus, a dozen former U.S. military and intelligence officials are telling President Obama that they are picking up information that undercuts the Official Story. MEMORANDUM FOR: The President FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) SUBJECT: Is Syria a Trap? Precedence: IMMEDIATE We regret to inform you that some of (…)
• Mahmoud Abbas and Barack Obama: tragic hero vs political prostitute
  24 September 2011, by Uri Avnery
  A 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 (…)
• عودة «الاخوان المسلمين» الى الحضن الاميركي
  9 تموز (يوليو) 2011, بقلم ريمون عطاالله
  يجمع المراقبون على انه لم يعد سراً ان ادارة الرئيس باراك اوباما في واشنطن تجري اتصالات ومفاوضات مع جماعة «الاخوان المسلمين» في مصر، وربما في غير مصر. هذه الاتصالات تجري على صعيد البيت الابيض نفسه، وعلى صعيد وزارة الخارجية، وعلى صعيد اجهزة الاستخبارات الوطنية. لكن هذا الموضوع ما زال مدار خلاف داخل الولايات المتحدة وداخل مصر، خصوصاً مع شباب «ثورة ٢٥ يناير» التي اطاحت نظام الرئيس حسني مبارك. برزت ملامح هذا الخلاف في واشنطن خلال مناقشة لجنة الاستخبارت الوطنية في مجلس النواب قبل اربعة اشهر (…)
• Netanyahu, Obama et l’épreuve du changement
  8 mai 2009, par Emilie Sueur
  Le 30 avril, Barack Obama passait le cap des 100 jours de sa présidence. Chiffre symbole qui a donné lieu à toute une série d’analyses sur la politique du nouveau président. Le vrai test néanmoins, le cap au passage duquel il sera intéressant de juger la politique étrangère d’Obama et sa volonté, revendiquée lors de la campagne, de « changement » par rapport à l’administration Bush, aura lieu dans quelques jours, lors de sa rencontre, prévue à la mi-mai, avec le Premier ministre israélien, (…)
• US Hides Behind Iran Sanctions Threat
  2 May 2009, by Kaveh L Afrasiabi
  Whereas United States President Barack Obama promised in his new year message to Iran that he was committed to a new diplomacy that "will not be advanced by threats", a month later this is precisely what is happening. This is in light of new White House-backed legislation in the US Congress that aims to impose "crippling sanctions" on Iran by targeting its energy imports. The Iran Sanctions Enhancement Act, introduced by a bipartisan group of US senators, states in its preamble that its (…)
• 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 (…)
• Israel’s Constant Crisis
  31 December 2008, by Justin Raimondo
  As the Israelis continue to pound Gaza, killing Hamas cadre, traffic cops, and civilians alike, Americans shake their heads and wonder: why can’t they all just get along? Why must we be involved? The answer to both questions lies in understanding the peculiar nature of the Israeli state and its "special relationship" to the West, specifically the U.S. Defenders of the Israeli government and its policies often complain that Israel just wants to be treated as a "normal country," like any (…)
