My guests have been some of the most enlightened liberal minds [...]
What Biden’s pick means to Arab and Palestinians? Don’t wonder much… it means, “fuck you Arab/Palestinians!!!” (Excuse my French!)
As our Arabic proverb says: “The straw that broke the camel’s back.” This is how I can describe Obama’s move. The guy (Obama) is ignorant and naive when it comes to cases such as Israeli occupation of [...]

Years of silence by Palestinian “Sheiks” and intellectuals led us to where we are now. Arafat ruled the PLO and Fatah with iron fist, using bribery, intimidation even physical liquidation to silence every one.
