The Fake Moderation of America’s Moderate Mideast Allies
4 February 2011, by Asli Bâli, Aziz RanaAs 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 (…) -
عودة «الاخوان المسلمين» الى الحضن الاميركي
9 تموز (يوليو) 2011, بقلم ريمون عطااللهيجمع 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 (…) -
كيف خسرت «الثورة السورية» قضيتها... ولو ربحت!
22 كانون الأول (ديسمبر) 2012, بقلم ريمون عطااللهأن يصبح النائب اللبناني عقاب صقر علماً من اعلام «الثورة السورية»، أمر يحكي لوحده قصة المآل البائس الذي آلت اليه تلك «الثورة». وهي على الاصح تحولت الى بؤرة لشتى انواع التجارات واستدراج الخدمات. اصبحت الحليف الاول للنظام الذي تدعي عزمها على اسقاطه، لأن النظام ليبقى يحتاج الى مثل تلك المعارضة الراسبة في الامتحان السياسي والاخلاقي وحتى العسكري على الرغم من كل الدعم الخارجي الذي تتلقاه بفعل المساعدات الخليجية الوافدة اليها عبر موزعي حليب الاطفال والبطانيات، لبست العقلية البدوية لرعاتها، ومنهم من (…) -
Obama Warned on Syrian Intel

A powerful but masochistic expression of gratitude by the USA to Israel
13 June 2010, by Mark GlennToday, 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 (…) -
State of recognition
24 September 2011, by Joseph MassadWhether 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 (…) -
Israel’s Constant Crisis
31 December 2008, by Justin RaimondoAs 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 (…) -
Criminalizing Criticism of Israel
8 May 2009, by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTSOn 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 (…) -
The End of History
20 October 2010, by Layla AnwarThe Universe, the Cosmos, Awareness, Consciousness, Love, Hate, Friendship, Life...the triumph of Love over Death....All is made of many levels...so is History. There is the Beginning and there is the End. There is the beginning of Civilization and there is the end of Civilization...and there are the gray areas in between, the pangs of Death and Rebirth. History’s many levels are made of beginnings and ends...and those gray areas. Some beginnings illuminate the world and some of its (…) -
Netanyahu, Obama et l’épreuve du changement
8 mai 2009, par Emilie SueurLe 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, (…)
