• 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 (…)
• The Fake Moderation of America’s Moderate Mideast Allies
  4 February 2011, by Asli Bâli, Aziz Rana
  As the Mubarak regime turns to violence in a vain attempt to repress the peaceful protests that have swept Egypt’s streets for over ten days, the risks associated with current U.S. strategy for Egypt and the wider region continue to grow. In its response to the events, the Obama administration has subtly shifted its message, incrementally increasing pressure on the regime over the last week. But the more important story is the remarkable continuities reflected in the administration’s (…)
• 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 (…)
• The Joke in Annapolis
  27 November 2007, by Uri Avnery
  The Annapolis conference is a joke. Though not in the least funny. Like quite a lot of political initiatives, this one too, according to all the indications, started more or less by accident. George Bush was due to make a speech. He was looking for a theme that would give it some substance. Something that would divert attention away from his fiascos in Iraq and Afghanistan. Something simple, optimistic, easy to swallow. Somehow, the idea of a "meeting" of leaders to promote the (…)
• Criminalizing Criticism of Israel
  8 May 2009, by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
  On October 16, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the Israel Lobby’s bill, the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act. This legislation requires the US Department of State to monitor anti-semitism world wide. To monitor anti-semitism, it has to be defined. What is the definition? Basically, as defined by the Israel Lobby and Abe Foxman, it boils down to any criticism of Israel or Jews. Rahm Israel Emanuel hasn’t been mopping floors at the White House. As soon as he gets the Hate Crimes (…)
• Le lobby pro-israélien et la politique étrangère américaine
  17 novembre 2007, par John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt
  Le pouvoir politique du lobby ne vient pas de son poids sur les déclarations des candidats à la présidentielle pendant la campagne, mais de son influence considérable sur la politique étrangère américaine, en particulier au Moyen-orient. Les interventions américaines dans cette zone hypersensible ont d’importantes conséquences sur les habitants des quatre coins de la planète, et surtout ceux de cette région. Voyez seulement à quel point la guerre en Irak de l’administration Bush a affecté le (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
