On Jewish Intolerance

The Goldstone saga is an opportunity to peep into contemporary Jewish political intolerance, and Goldstone emerges as a tragic figure.

(LONDON) - In a New Statesman article, law professor John Dugard, who was a Judge on The International Court of Justice as well as being Special Raporteur for United Nations Commission on Human Rights, summarises the Goldstone apology saga:

‘there are no new facts that could possibly have led Richard Goldstone to change his mind about the UN-backed investigation into Israel and the conflict in Gaza.’

Israeli Embassy in Cairo Under Siege

Demands: Embassy Closure and Withdrawal from The Camp David Accords in Wake of Renewed Attacks on Gaza

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The western press and even Al Jazeera have failed to report today’s demonstrations in Tahir Square, Cairo accurately.

Thousands of Egyptians marched from the square to the Israeli Embassy, demanding that the current military government end diplomatic relations with Israel in wake of the recent assault on Gaza by the IDF.

HumanRights: From Deir Yassin to Gaza

Just in the past three days, 18 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza by the same occupation army; including a man and his grand-daughter. I penned a poem along the way.

(BETHLEHEM) - I am back in Palestine after a long 40 day book tour in which I visited 3
countries, 16 US states, gave talks 67 times and interviewed on TV and Radio extensively.

Over 3000 wonderful contacts were made and the publisher tells me that 1300 books were sold along the way.

Egyptians are Back in Tahrir Square to Block a Counter Revolution

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction. And to every revolution there is often plotted a counter revolution…”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The world still recalls those thousands of Egyptians protesting in Tahrir square at the heart of Cairo in one of the most inspiring scenes of the human quest for freedom and democracy in modern times.

It was wonderful to watch those magical moments where power of the people powerfully came into effect, but for some it was equally worrying as they contemplated on what would come next.

Muslim Brotherhood Breaking Free of Nasser`s Long Ban on the Group

Decades of political repression of dissent in Egypt has created an iceberg out of the Muslim Brotherhood group -MB- with seven-eighths of its actual size under the surface.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - It was really the best of times, it was absolutely the worst of times, back in the sixties.

President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s time in Egypt when he reigned like some legendary knight as if he was sultan Saladin, the epitome of Arabic chivalry, who united the Arabs and fought back the western medieval crusaders.

Military Action Against Gadaffi is Not the Solution

Bottom line: military action in Libya is not the solution nor is it the solution in Afghanistan/Pakistan or Iraq.

(SEOUL, Korea) - The no fly zone has allowed America and the coalition forces to attack Gaddafi forces, if Gaddafi retaliates with NATO causalities this can very possibly lead to a full scale war and Libya can very quickly become the next Iraq, but even worse than Iraq and will become a terrorist breeding ground, allowing Terrorist groups to Network from Libya and attack Israel.

Israel will become the biggest causality of this ridiculously stupid move by the UN approving a no fly zone.

Europe Turns Against Israel

It is embarrassing how lame academia has become.

(LONDON) - A German think-tank affiliated with the Social Democratic Party issued a new report last week that revealed “high levels of anti-Semitism in Germany, Poland and Hungary.”

A researcher from the University of Bielefeld told The Jerusalem Post that the study showed a strong presence of anti-Semitism linked with Israel and is hidden behind criticism of Israel, and is not neutral.

No-Fly Zone to Stop the No-Flow of Oil in Libya

These revolutions are the embodiment of the saying “power to the people”...

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - History is now unfolding swiftly in the Arab world it practically outpaced and deviated from the expectations of all observers and policy makers in the region and internationally.

For centuries the Middle East has been the theater for political changes usually brought about by foreign and world powers.

Gaddafi`s Fake Supporters and Fake Casualties of Western Air Strikes

Painful truths about the conflict raging in Libya.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Libyan police reports about casualties from the western air strikes are a complete lie.

We do know that telephone and internet communications with Libya have been cut off by Libyan dictator Mu’ammar Gaddafi.

The West is Doing the Right Thing in Libya

Libya’s wellbeing can be safeguarded only by having a democratic, accountable government.

(LONDON) - As a Libyan who has witnessed at first hand how the Gaddafi regime evolved into its present murderous self, I can only welcome the start of this military action.

My only regret is that it did not take place earlier and thereby spare the lives of thousands of innocent civilians murdered by Gaddafi’s hired hands.
