  • 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 (…)

  • 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 (…)

  • 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 (…)

  • 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, (…)

  • كيف خسرت «الثورة السورية» قضيتها... ولو ربحت!
    22 كانون الأول (ديسمبر) 2012, بقلم ريمون عطاالله

    أن 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 (…)

  • De la propagande : entretiens avec David Barsamian - Fayard 2002
    12 avril 2007, par Noam Chomsky

    Que répondez-vous à ceux qui, entendant votre critique d’Israël et de son recours à une force excessive, vous demandent : et la Syrie ? Pourquoi ne parlez-vous pas de la Libye ou de l’Irak ? La situation n’y est-elle pas infiniment pire ?
    Bien sûr. J’ai parlé du Pakistan à l’instant. Ces pays sont bien pires. J’en conviens. Je ne critique pas vraiment. Je me contente de citer Human Rights Watch et Amnesty International. Ces commentaires sont très prudents. Je m’en tiendrais à leur point de (…)

  • 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 (…)
