الانفلونزا السياسية في اسرائيل وغوغائية نتنياهو
الحكومة الاسرائيلية الحالية برئاسة بينيامين نتنياهو لا زالت مصرة على عدم تغيير نهجها وسياستها بما هو متعلق بالصراع الاسرائيلي الفلسطيني بحيث ان هذه الحكومة لا زالت تستعمل نفس ادواتها منذ تسلمها مقاليد الحكم حتى الان وهذه الادوات تتلخص في ارهاب وعربدة المستوطنين المتزايدة يوما بعد يوم في الضفة الغربية بالاضافة الى الاداة الاهم والتي بدورها تحاول اسرائيل القضاء على اية امال للتقدم في عملية السلام وهي تهويد القدس الشرقية وتضييق الخناق على سكان المدينة المقدسة .
Netanyahu’s Reality…and the reality of the world
It seems that the Liberal thought is not interesting any more. Any solution that is suggested to solve international crises is seen as a weakness. Leaders nowadays prefer making statements that threat the other and think that what is called deterrence power and per-caution action are much better than going into diplomatic channels to find solutions. Extremism is widening everywhere whether when talking about Religion or Nationalism.
When Jerusalem became the land of doubt
It is well known that whenever Jerusalem is mentioned, the words holy and faith always accompany it. In reality when talking about the situation of people and specifically the situation of thousands of Palestinians who are living under occupation since 1967, it is a different story. These people wake up every day to start a new round of challenges that are based on letting them doubt everything they have or think about.
المصالحة هل تمت ام انها مجرد شعار سياسي ؟
ان الانقسام الفلسطيني يعتبر مرحلة سوداء في تاريخ شعبنا الفلسطيني الذي ناضل ولا زال يناضل ويقدم التضحيات من اجل استعادة حريته وحقوقه وانهاء الاحتلال الاسرائيلي . ان الانقسام بين حركتي فتح وحماس منذ عام ٢٠٠٦ يشكل مصدر ضعف لقضيتنا الفلسطينية وهنالك اجماع عند القوى والتنظيمات السياسية الفلسطينية ان استمرار الانقسام بين حركتي فتح وحماس هو مصدر ضعف للقضية ويجب انهاء الانقسام باسرع وقت ممكن .
ان ما جرى في الشارع العربي وخصوصا المصري دفع الشباب الفلسطيني للخروج بمظاهرات ومسيرات والدخول في اضرابات عن الطعام تطالب كل من قيادتي الحركتين انهاء حالة الانقسام الفلسطيني والتوقيع على اتفاق مصالحة يتم فيه الاتفاق على كل النقاط العالقة بين الحركتين وخصوصا ملف الاعتقال السياسي والانتخابات التشريعية والرئاسية المقبلة .
Knowing the way to Freedom
The title that describes the current situation of the Palestinian situation today is “No Title”. It is true that the Palestinians nowadays are trying to regain unity within the lines of the Palestinian movements in order to reach a place where decisions would be made with a kind of agreement that would push things forward. Even though efforts are made in order to achieve such a thing, it is not clear whether there is a clear plan for the next level and which way will the Palestinians take in order to reach the goal that was set many years ago.
All The News That’s Not So Fit To Ignore: A Hamas Leader Rejects Tactical Violence

Ron Paul (or his newsletter doppelganger) is better at constructing conspiracy theories than I am, but his spirit must infest those Likud Party coalition members who rarely, if ever, consider any new analysis of Palestinian leaders or their actions. Anything (disturbingly) optimistic is presented in its most unfavorable light.
Even that minimal light is extinguished when it’s sent into the RELIABLE TALKING POINTS black hole, a place where the glow kindled by good news is doomed to never
