Shameless in Ramallah

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

In order to obtain a certificate of good conduct from Israel and her guardian-ally, the United States, the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority (PA) is betraying the very people it claims to represent and its enduring national cause in ways unprecedented in living memory.

This scandalous betrayal assumes many forms, including brazen “security coordination” with the [...]

Piss On Bush!

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

I fell off my chair laughing and could not believe my eyes when I saw this funny picture:

Don’t you just feel like doing it…. NOW :)

This is what starvation means (for some) in the Arab world!

Terrorism and Falafel

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

One of the traits of eating FALAFEL is the possibility of getting blacklisted in America or worse accused of being a terrorist.

Democracy according to the “behold Bush!”

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

While watching the news last night, a breaking live broadcast of Bush speech in Prague was on air. I never liked to hear this dump, but for unknown reason I decided to listen to his remarks.

While listening to him, I was speaking to myself. This is how it goes (transcript can be found here):

We are all criminals

In the U.S., the issue is framed as “Immigration”

The face of the issue is framed as a brown skinned Mexican man.

And yet, all you have to do is scrape just a little under the surface to know what immigration really means and who it effects.

Mattressless American Occupation

Friday, January 26th, 2007

This ironic one comes from the infamous Fox News: An American occupier in Iraq had a simple request last week for a Wisconsin mattress company: “send some floor mats to help ease the hardship of sleeping on the cold, bug-infested ground.”

What he got, instead, was a swift kick from the company’s Web site, which not [...]

Microsoft Web 2.0 and Refugees

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

I feel sick to my stomach when I see a multi-billion giant like Microsoft using “children refugees” as a cover up to market their latest web 2.0 businesses called live.com! While doing my search for my previous story, I came across a press release by UNHCR which said: “Microsoft launches “Click for Cause” initiative to [...]
