Bush at the Knesset revealed what most Arabs and Palestinians already knew: he is not an impartial broker, reports Khaled Amayreh from Ramallah
In his speech before the Israeli Knesset last week, President George W Bush proved once again that he is a Zionist par excellence. Indeed, the depth of his embrace of Zionism and the [...]

This is from the Israeli licensed march of Palestinian families at the old destroyed arab village of Safurye. About half way through the clip CNN’s own Ben Welderman gets harassed too and barks back. If this is how Israel treats Palestinians who are citizens of Israel you can only imagine how it treats [...]

George Bush statement in the Israeli Knesset in celebrating 60 years of independence, shames us all. His failure to recognize that Israel was not founded in “Heaven” but in long history of terrorism and ethnic cleansing is a smack in the face of his administration and its commitment to fighting terrorism and it is an [...]

Despite all what the world might think of, Palestinian under occupation (and elsewhere for sure) still believes that Hamas and Haniyeh are in better position than what the trio - Rice, Bush and Olmert - are trying to present as an alternative for Palestinian Democracy to the world, the corrupted Fatah and President Abbas.
In a [...]

If you think that the “War on Terror” has come about because Islamic extremists “hate your freedoms,” you are wrong. It is because of the unbalanced and deeply flawed foreign policy chosen my US politicians in the Middle East, which generated much of the anti-American sentiment found in the Arab world. If you ask, Why? [...]

But this is the kind of demagoguery America likes, and Rice so desperately needs… anything to have the “right” party win… The right party is, of course, made up of weak, corrupt politicians… the easier to handle…

And I thought someone said they have ‘freedom of speech’, ‘free media’ and its the ‘oasis of democracy’ and, blah blah blah..
The British Zionist Federation canceled a London appearance by Ha’aretz columnist Danny Rubinstein the day after he called Israel an “apartheid state” at a United Nations conference on Palestinians.

I have been invited to Haiti by “Haiti Solidarity” so am off there shortly. I will be staying and meeting with women activists from the Lavalas movement. I have a pretty good knowledge of Haitian history and contemporary politics but there is always more to learn and I needed to focus on [...]

Even if that land happens to be owned by Palestinians… Israel has over a million non Jewish (Palestinian/Arab) citizens, and while it pretends to be a “democracy” - and as politicians and media the world over parrot the phrase “the only democracy in the Middle East” as if saying it made it so, and as [...]

Reuters
They say this was clear from the moment the United States and the European Union boycotted the government set up by Hamas in March 2006 after the Islamists trounced Abbas’s Fatah faction in free elections that Washington had insisted go ahead.
“That was the hair in the soup in terms [...]

And he was certainly the WEST’S choice for new Palestinian Prime Minister. (They already wanted him in that role in 2002… we are supposed to believe he is Abbas’s choice. His “third party” in the last elections won 2 seats in Parliament)

By Saree Makdisi
IN THE WEST, there’s a huge sense of relief. The Hamas-led government that has been causing everyone so much trouble has been isolated in Gaza, and a new government has been appointed in the West Bank by the “moderate,” peace-loving [...]

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):

First of all, please meet Handala (Hat tip: Ben Heine for his great artwork):

Handala (or Hanzala) is the most famous of the Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali’s cartoon characters. From approximately 1975 through 1987 Naji Al-Ali created cartoons that depict the complexities of the plight of Palestinian refugees. These cartoons are still relevant today and Handala, [...]

False! Well, not everywhere, but at Daily Kos it sure is.

It has been nearly a month since I decided to start cross-posting most of what I write in my blog to my diary at Daily Kos. The diaries at Daily Kos are more or less make for a personal blog, where members can publish their [...]

While the rest of the world applauds the Palestinians for the ceasefire agreement reached in Mecca last week, the US has issued warnings to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas regarding a potential US boycott of the new unity government. Please let your representatives know that you are outraged that the US will not support measures towards [...]
