  • The Facts About Hamas and the War on Gaza
    14 January 2009, by Norman Finkelstein

    The record is fairly clear. You can find it on the Israeli website, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Israel broke the ceasefire by going into the Gaza and killing six or seven Palestinian militants. At that point—and now I’m quoting the official Israeli website—Hamas retaliated or, in retaliation for the Israeli attack, then launched the missiles.
    Now, as to the reason why, the record is fairly clear as well. According to Ha’aretz, Defense Minister Barak began plans for this (…)

  • 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 (…)

  • L’opposition entre rhétorique occidentale et dialectique orientale est au coeur du conflit entre Israël et le Hezbollah
    21 juillet 2006, par Percy Kemp

    L’inversion des discours
    Quelle que soit l’issue du bras de fer qui s’est engagé en ce mois de juillet entre Israël et le Hezbollah libanais, il apparaît d’ores et déjà que quelque chose a changé qui devrait nous affecter sur la durée.
    Ce n’est pas tant qu’on a pu voir pour la première fois des Arabes tenir tête à l’armée israélienne, suggérant qu’un certain changement serait intervenu dans l’équilibre usuel des forces. C’est plutôt sur le plan épistémologique qu’un véritable changement (…)

  • The time of the righteous
    10 January 2009, by Gideon Levy

    This war, perhaps more than its predecessors, is exposing the true deep veins of Israeli society. Racism and hatred are rearing their heads, as is the impulse for revenge and the thirst for blood. The "inclination of the commander" in the Israel Defense Forces is now "to kill as many as possible," as the military correspondents on television describe it. And even if the reference is to Hamas fighters, this inclination is still chilling.
    The unbridled aggression and brutality are justified (…)

  • 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 (…)

  • الجيش السوري محور الصراع الدولي في المشرق العربي!
    17 أيلول (سبتمبر) 2012, بقلم ريمون عطاالله

    اذا كانت الأحداث السورية الدامية قد أفزرت من ظواهر ملفتة، ان لم يكن من بطولات مميزة، فإنها أفزرت القدرة الخارقة للجيش العربي السوري على حفظ وحدة سوريا وتماسكها، من خلال الحفاظ على الدولة السورية، لأن تفكيك الدولة السورية كشرط لتفكيك الأرض والمجتمع والشعب كان هو الهدف الأساس من عسكرة الوضع السوري. وبقدر صمود الجيش السوري وتماسكه، كان من الطبيعي ان يأتي تشرذم المعارضة وتشظيها، كعامل أساس في ضعف الجبهة الدولية الساعية الى تقويض سوريا تحت شعار إسقاط النظام وإطاحة الرئيس بشار الأسد.
    وكانت هذه (…)

  • Israel’s Righteous Fury and its Victims in Gaza
    9 January 2009, by Ilan Pappe

    My visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice — even louder than the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just annoying, it is a subject (…)

  • Israel’s fabricated rocket crisis
    5 April 2009, by Jim Holstun, Joanna Tinker

    In The Iron Wall (2001), Israeli historian Avi Shlaim shows that in July 1981, US diplomat Philip Habib brokered a ceasefire between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel. For the next year, the PLO infuriated Israel by refusing to violate the ceasefire and thereby provide an excuse for Israel’s long-planned attack on PLO refugee camps and bases in Lebanon. Then, on 3 June 1982, a member of the Abu Nidal organization shot and wounded Shlomo Argov, the Israeli ambassador in (…)

  • Victorious, but vilified: Israel has ’destroyed its image and its soul’
    18 January 2009, by Donald Macintyre, Kim Sengupta

    After three weeks of carnage in Gaza, there were tentative signs of a ceasefire last night. But the bitter legacy of the past 22 days for Israel is that, while it declares victory on the battlefield, the country’s reputation has rarely sunk so low.
    Yesterday the United Nations called for a war crimes investigation after two children, aged five and seven, were killed when, it claimed, an Israeli tank shell hit a school sheltering some of the more than 40,000 internally displaced refugees. (…)

  • Gideon Levy / An open response to A.B. Yehoshua
    18 January 2009, by Gideon Levy

    Dear Bulli,
    Thank you for your frank letter and kind words. You wrote it was written from a "position of respect," and I, too, deeply respect your wonderful literary works. But, unfortunately, I have a lot less respect for your current political position. It is as if the mighty, including you, have succumbed to a great and terrible conflagration that has consumed any remnant of a moral backbone. You, too, esteemed author, have fallen prey to the wretched wave that has inundated, (…)
