The Arab Spring
This rise and fall
Through winter and fall
They called it spring
For God’s sake
When you wake up
Give me a ring
During winter we blamed one man
During spring we blamed a whole nation
Killing, stealing, threatening, and raping
Cheating, destroying, disbelieving and executing
Following the Palestinian Reconciliation – A Strategy is needed
President Mahmoud Abbas signed an agreement with the head of the Hamas political office and agreed that the next Prime Minister would be the President himself in order to mind more arguments about the personality of the expected Prime Minister. Hamas leadership inside the Palestinian territories criticized Mashal’s agreement on President Abbas to become the Prime Minister and this shows the challenges that are taking place between Hamas leadership abroad and inside the Palestinian territories.
From MAAN Analysis: What would you do? – By Elyte Baykun
Israel is blaming the Palestinians for putting “preconditions” on peace talks by insisting on a settlement freeze before returning to direct negotiations. They say that Palestinians have negotiated for the past twenty years without this condition, so why demand it now?

by Jeff Pozmantier on February 6, 2012
I’m naive.
But not a Thomas Friedman “America can have a successful third party“ naive. His naivete played out on his much larger world stage. Mine has stayed more localized. It didn’t drive my non-existent book sales.
Last July, the well known New York Times columnist was in between his various saving the world assignments (and pre-book tour) when he proclaimed that America’s political problems were so deep than we needed a new political start-up, called Americans Elect, to right America’s ship.
وجه القصيدة الاول – بقلم الشاعر معاذ القيمري
يا صانع الوقت
هل لي من مزيد؟
فلا وقت لدي …لأكون!
لغيري بات الوقت يذهبُ
وانا في حضن الليل اجلسُ
اتأملُ انظرُ …اتخيلُ الكون
واحدق بعاشقين رحل الشوق عنهما
بعدما شهدت النجوم على حبهما
واحدق بنفسي ..وكأني مشتاق لنفسي
كأن لي صورة في السماء تنادي
لكن…. لا احد
في الروح وفي الجسد
